    Any Advice on Adding a Top to a Straight Up Roadster?

     



    Hey all...
    I'm thinking of adding a top on my 32. TX is hot and I feel it would add usable time for my ride. I don't want to spend a lot but i do want some good leads / links on recommended brands and how to's. Or...
    Is this a project best left to a shop that does this full time?
    Thx Red 32

    That's "DA34GUY" - seems like Sid Chaver's "Bop Top" is one I see most often - Sid Chavers Co. - Auto Interior Artist - Home of the "Bop Top" Don can give you the scoop on what he uses though, like Shine says. You might look at Denny's top, too - SG4356, car's in his avatar.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Double post Not sure how, but it sure would be nice if we had a "delete post" button that could be used within a minute of posting.....

    ^ I like that suggestion. Mine came with a Chavers Bop Top and it seems to work and fit well. But I took it off a while back and hope to never use it. I stocked up on sun-block, though the sun in TX is probably a lot bigger than around here.

    RODTOPS in Michigan has been around for a long time and is pretty nice. It folds up into a bag you store in the trunk. I just had my 97 RODTOP repaired by them about 2mo ago.
