    Project: HardTop

    My friend and I have decided to make our own hardtop. Since their so hard to come across and if you do come across one their really pricey. Here is a couple pics of what it looks like today.

              Are you doing this just for fun? Or is this a prototype intended to be mass produced? I wonder if there's enough verts out there to make this a viable business idea.
              Can't wait to see the final product.
              Good luck!

                wow you are nuts. You must really want a hardtop. You're in fresno, you don't need no stinkin hardtop on your vert. I am really curious to see how it turns out though. Never heard of anyone doing this before.

                  We're doing this for fun and I really want a hardtop. If this turns out good we're going to make a mold out of this and try to reproduce it a couple.

                    Do it...this is like "why didn't I think of that fucking snuggie". Except not nearly as easy or lucrative.

                      Yea my top is pretty clean cuz its practically brand new but we have time in our hands and it wouldnt hurt to try something.

                          I'm in the East Bay, couple hours away. I have a 'vert. And a Hardtop. And a extra soft-top frame. And a new-in-the box extra hardtop rear window. If you need measurements, info, etc. let me know.
