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 ???

The more I research a carson style top the more I like it. I would obviously use less padding than the hot rod guys but if I could make it look like a 'vert top it would be pretty sweet. If I am going to make it to RRC (some day) a top would be good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It would be really cool to be able to swap from a dedicated speedster to a coupe, it would be like having two cars!
