On or Off?

[TunaHead]

I know I'm opening up a can of worms here but I have myself a conundrum. *My brother and I took the bow rail off today. *It was a P.I.T.A. due to twisted bolts and corroded nuts that can best be described as "crusty bits" (see pic # 1 with the last bit of the headliner that was removed).

I can't decide whether to put the bow rail back on or not. *I like the look either way though it seems a little nekid without it. *Whatcha think?

The last picture is the helm seat under repair. *Holes filled with Marinetex, remade seat and a coat of primer.
