Here's some new ones of mine, new wheels and spoiler, plus I've added two more convertibles to the stable.













Bought this one in pieces and restored it this past fall







And this one is my dad's, it's a project we're working on and is currently in Kansas being painted.

Yes they are powered and they do work, but since the place that tinted them said to not rolled them down till 3 days.. I hadn't.. After work today, was the first time I rolled them down since it was the end of the third day..

If it's a nice day, the top will be down and with the tint.. the car looks awesome with windows up or half way up.. Most of my birds miles have been driven top down.. windows half way!
