You make it sound so easy! 🙂
Back in the day, I almost sprung for Classic Roadsters Ltd.’s hard top. It came with hard window and frames for the sides, inserted into holes in the top of the door, similar to the way Speedster side curtains attach. I’ll try to dig out pictures. Seeing one might help inspire you “young folk.”

Excellent work Ed. Keep it up. Great that you didn’t need to pull the fenders, modify, reset and check, then rinse, lather, repeat.

After thinking about this a bit more, I think that I would go to a glass shop and have then cut a piece of tempered glass for the rear window instead of using plexiglass. Relatively cheap.

Over the years, it has come up that many of you wish that you had a fiberglass top for your TDr. Ed (edsnova), in his posts is introducing many of you to shade tree fiberglass work and it reminded me of a project that I almost started but decided to leave it to you yo…[Read more]

We lived in Wellington (West Palm Beach) for seven years 2000-2007. We loved it. The whole area is beautiful and there are lots of great places to drive, ride bikes, or walk, not to mention having a beach nearby. No state income tax and we had coconuts, papayas, and bananas growing in the postage-stamp yard. Makes me sick to this day to thi…[Read more]

Note the jack point to understand the size of this sheet-metal “box” that is added.

Ran across this pic of a 1964 VW convertible on a lift, showing the frame rails that VW added to the sides of the floorpan. This was done to offset the structural weakness that resulted from removing the steel top of the VW body.

Welcome to Florida. You should be happy here. Although the Ft Lauderdale area is rather busy. If you get near Orlando/Cocoa Beach, please let me know. I am in Merritt Island.
