The roof....Carson Top
Make a buck from wood, PVC pipe whatever you think would be better suited to get the line you want, Then do the panty hose fiberglass trick. Viola you have a removeable top. Glass in some attachment hardware. Tkae a look at the quick top kits made for Jeeps for the front latches and maybe some sort of vertical pin setup in the rear. Obviously the pins would have to have some sort of tension put on them to seal and protect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) theraded rod would work but who wants to bolt and unbolt the F-in top everytime it rains. Peanut gallery ??? |
