Looks good, Would the shell work on a hard top car that is going to stay a hard top car? I like the look of that, but I also like having a hard top. I know it would need some work to graft it to the sail panel, but I think I can handel that. Is that a possibility?

(My roof is the only panel that is still stock, so I gotta do something about that-lol)

Well, the issue would be that our piece is CF and the piece you are grafting to is composite...

HOWEVER, since we will be making a mold for a sail panel soon I guess you could talk him into just doing a full hardtop piece for you...

^^Late February to early March we should be able to do a whole roof. If you want him to make a fiberglass piece for you to play with (or CF) before that I can have him do that as well...

Did you get any clusters in yet?

Sounds good, No, I haven't seen any clusters yet..... Things may be traveling slower due to the holiday season, but I don't know.

^^Sorry for the delay, I was waiting to PM you until after I checked it all out in person this week... Plug is curing now, mold will be made end of this week, first piece should be popped out within 3 weeks from now and of course you know who it goes to (after safety tests)

Actually, finished pics of the roof should be ready in a few days... Production is in New York and the cold weather slowed things down...

Wow! Let me know the very day i can order! Why not ad a fifth project? I'm feeling a little overwhelmed but what the hell, i already dont sleep! So what all is involved with cutting out my bar to go from t top to true targa? Im assuming this wont include a new headliner or will it? Hey Mark theres a recycler close to my house theres a place called rancho cordova speacialized recyclers they have thousands of fbodies ive been there numerous times. If your having a hrd time locating t top mechanisms, check them out they part a lot of stuff and since theyre an hour south of me, theyre only 5 hours north of you. Cheap shipping or you could buy a crap load in bulk and make a trip up once or twice
