    DIRTY DUG, you have Deval type "V",an I,my be many more would be inertested in how your windshield header is made an hooks too windshield "V" frame??? Yours looks very nicely done ,but how?
    As for color,,I like all the colors,but for kind of practical ,TAN is my pic=keeps car cool,blends with other colors an dose not show dirt as EZ as white.

    That's what I pick (TAN) when I homemade my own,I did a tech on what I did a few years ago,for the HAMB;

    I think the profile of the top is way more important than the color.
     
  9. I have had a white top. Looked good on the car, but that was against red paint. Held a piece of white material up to the yellow on my current RPU and it didn't work at all. I went with tan. The top color depends on the body color. This is Mercedes Harz cloth. A little expensive, but is tough as a stone age man!

  14. You can buy them. I assume you're talking about the flip out window?

    I think it would depend on the body color. From all the posts so far the tan or white looks good on anything. But to me, the black top just disappears on a black car. And maybe that's a good thing.

    I like 'em all.

    True this! It is a large piece of the finished car, it has to look good. Zip out window, Haartz cloth.
