Got my snap top put on my Model A Sedan yesterday!!!

Very nice job...and cool set up.
Nice rig too !!

 

Nice car... even better with the top!

 

Yeah, I would like to see what it looks like with those snaps on the car. I was concerned with where one would put the male snaps and how it would look.

Then for me I keep thinking do I run a black top, dark brown, red? etc.

Hey mopar210, is your top white in the center or is it transparent?

Cheers and nice car.

I took this last night, I still have not taken the top all the way off yet. If is nice this weekend I will take the top off all the way and take a better pic for ya.

 

Looks great love the wood bows in the top. I'm building a 34' plymouth 2dr sedan with about the same chop and stance and am planning on doing the same kind of snap top love the look. Good color and tire choice. Its refreshing to see a nice traditional car and not a car so cut up and ragged that you cant get in it without a tow rope and safety gl***es. Great job!

 

Looks great on and off, nice ride all around!

 

I consider that a steal, I do upholstery on aircraft by day and side work like this at night. I'm sure they have at least $50 bucks in material, snaps, edging. Doesnt leave a lot of room for the labor, pay the bills and to make a buck. Anyway, nice hot rod and congrats on the top! I like it!

 

KC nice touch , should have thought of that on my A...

 

Nice, I like that.
have been contemplating if i should go that way on mine or not.

Whats it like with it on, going down the e-way?

 

Great topper for a show stopper, man I love that car. Brilliant work by your trim merchant an yourself. And Thanx for showin that baby to us. Rock and Roll! ~Sololobo~

 

I like it.

I'm glad I had mine after the Fort Worth swap meet last month. Pooring rain on the way home...



mine is Cadillac ragtop material cloth on top and bottom with a rubber material in the middle. No Leaks!

btw, this car is for sale in the cl***ified.

 

Man I like it, it does look good.
Doc.

 

I put one on my sedan last fall and I'm still driving the car now. Really cuts down on the wind. One of the best things I've done to the car and it's really nice to remove it when the sun is out. Sorry, This is the only pic I have on this particular computer.

 

Looking really sharp!

 

Looks great! Same route i have planned for my sedan. How are these roofs In the rain?

 

lucky, that roadster is f-kkin sweet!!love the windshield and the splash aprons !!just like they did it for real!most dont know you had to pull the whole body off to get em off ,so most kids left em alone and stripped everything else.

 

Thanks everyone!

 

Love it! This is my plan as well.

 

I have a filled roof in my tudor, and don't really care for it, I have a 31 chevy two door sedan that we are going to do this way or with a vinyl and foam over plywood treatment. Seeing the pics of yours makes me lean this way. Your car looks real good.

 

X2 I would like to know this as well. Does water getting through in the front?

 

X3 on the rain Question, Also More important , Whats to keep the thing from blowing off at 60 mph? 70-80 or 120 down the drag strip? It would be nice to have a secured edge along the front, maybe some thumb screws from underneath, or a kind of "s" hook design.

 

Oh, I forgot to ask, My gist is nobody makes a Kit for this?

 

What keeps them from blowing off going down the highway is something called "hard action" snaps. They're incredibly strong and we use them for boat tops at work. You could also sew in a rubber edge with the hem around every side just to make sure it wouldnt leak.

 

That's the ticket! Had a snap on top for my boat. It never seen 100 mph but at 60mph the thing never even budged!
A local coupe runs this set-up and he put HD velco across the front he says it keeps the top on and rain free.

 

Very nice. Reminds me of a bimini top. Nice to have the option not to get wet.
