Which mustang version and year did you use for the seat springs? It looks like it will work.

I made the steering column. The lower part was from the Mustang II. I used the inner column and welded in a 3/4 shaft (from a ridermower axle) in the hollow section and the lower U-joint. The D shaft fits directly in the upper U joint from Ebay. The steering column itself was made from the inner shaft from a Chevy pickup. I then used lawnmower…[Read more]

I see you have a collapsible steering column installed. Who supplied the components for that?

What fence?It’s “The longest undefended border in the world.” But I would not recommend trying to cross it without going thru the proper access points.   Both the Canadian and American authorities take that kind of activity VERY seriously.Usually when you see a fence it is there to keep the farmer’s livestock in.  When there is a parallel road on…[Read more]

They took it down and moved it to Mexico?  

man, you do nice work.

Wait! so you’re in your country, but the picture shows our country….but where the heck is the fence??

I used tie down straps – the front strap is attached to a piece of angle iron that is fastened inside the body near the front of the car.  The rear straps are attached to where the door hinges are mounted.  (Doors have been removed). The front and rear straps were raised at the same time by using 2 come-alongs and two people.  The come-alongs ar…[Read more]

When I had my new top made, I had a length of 1/8′ aluminum bar (from the local hardware store) sewn into the front of the top. It fits right into the slot at the top of the windshield, works great, and will never rot.

Being a woodworker, you probably already know that no wood darkens faster in  the sun than cherry. Expect a deep brown red eventually. Sometimes it’s visible within hours. Walnut is the opposite, lightening over time.

A picture is priceless. thanks

or clear epoxy both sides and then captains varnish..

Hmm — I can see where a varying moisture content’s effect on Poly-sealed hardwood (in this case Cherry)  could cause cracking and splitting over time.   I have some Teak oil, as well as Walnut oil (for wood turnings) — or I can just continue to add coats of WATCO Danish Oil on top of the gel stain that I’ve already applied.

My 

Allen, Not really so odd.  My TDr is a Daytona MiGi.  Jack’s car is a Fiberfab MiGi II.  The info that I have is that Daytona sold their molds to Fiberfab.  Fiberfab’s early TDr was very similar to Daytona’s due to the fact that they were just assembling and selling old Daytona parts.  Eventually Fiberfab made some changes to the molds and thei…[Read more]

I measured the slot and it took a 13/64 drill bit (.203) and depth was .617. Fabric thickness at the fold is .062 and seam is .800 back. Playing engineer with this, it seems 1/8 thick by 3/8 or 1/2 inch wide should fit. I’ll do a wooden dummy first to check fit.

Roy,

I’m jealous of the zip-in rear window. Must make the top-up ride very nice and breezy.

I have a piece of about 1/16″ x 3/8″ nylon plastic stock inside the leading edge that runs the length of the windshield.  Works good and is flexible enought to fit into boot OK.
