    Yo, thought you might be interested to see my new car. It's the first bubble top in the UK, built the Roth way by me, Paul. One man in a small work shop in the garden with no special tools. Big mess, big success.

    Neat! Obviously a show car, but does it run and drive? Quite an accomplishment either way.

    I saw this machine drive in to the cl***ic car show on set up day last Thursday.

    It's very well done and a credit to the builder.

    I saw this car at the Cl***ic Car Show at the NEC in Birmingham yesterday. Up close, the quality is exceptional. Congratulations on your car.
    That killer intake system looks brilliant sitting through the hood/bonnet. What sort of six cylinder is it sitting underneath?
    Cudos on a great looking showcar.
    Cheers.

    Hoe did you make the bubble top? Did you use the same method as that guy in Tulsa who did them back in the day?

    Not too many guys can get the Roth look nailed, and from what I can see it looks bang on. I bet that Big Daddy would have dug it. Awesome job!
