I'd like to commission a project to someone who's interested/capable. Here is the problem: I want to install a Sid Chavers Bop Top on my deuce, but it currently has no tabs to mount the top... i would like to buy the flush mount tab kit from Time Machines Unlimited so that i can have a clean looking side profile when the top is removed, and also because the car is finished, and i think the flush mount kit would be easier to install than the stock type tabs. Here is a picture of the flush mount kit as they sell it:


Now, here's where the fabrication part comes in... As you can see, the kit gives you these little blocks that you are supposed to fiberglass under your body, then the nut sandwiches the block between the top of the quarter panel and itself. On my car, there is a reinforcement bar of 1 1/4" square tubing about 2" below the top surface of the 1/4 panel. What I would LIKE to do is extend the rod from the top, completely through this square tubing, and put the nut on the underside of the square tube, instead of using the block they provide. I don't think their posts are long enough to do this, as they would need to be about 4" long. I'd like to have 2 longer posts made, similar to the ones shown, with a thread-in clevis that has a hole 1" above the body surface. Basically, I need one of these kits hand fabricated about 1" longer than Time Machines makes them. They get 185.00 for this setup, which I would pay if they'd work... I just don't think they will be long enough, and need something similar constructed. For me its an impossibility, but perhaps someone with some machining skills could fab up a set of these without alot of hassle. I'm willing to pay for a set of these made from stainless, if anyone is capable of doing it. Any takers? -Joe
