    So, I have seen a couple threads on '32 tops on here over the years, but how about a thread with a picture of what your roadster top looks like (especially in profile) and what you did to achieve it. Bop top, stock Irons, Lebaron-Bonney, modified, how you modified it, how much chop, lowered bows, etc.

    I have a couple different possible ways to go on my highboy, and I would love to see some pictures with the details !

    Some tops stand out more than others!

    Perhaps a top down thread?

    Seriously, don't go too low. My head hits the rear bow on my 34 when I hit a good bump. I have had to develop a cool crouch driving style so as to avoid denting my head and ruining my part.

    Just a few things;; Then I post a HAMB link,to how I made my own folding top,an tips you can use?
    Folding early car tops,didn't need to hold together at speeds over 40mph,the old cars top out about there anyway,an roads for the most part were not up to going that fast anyway!
    The factory designs,I always thought were a bit lumpy,when folded down,plus took to long for up or down=
    I designed my own,top fold down low,and fast> so when I go at 55+mph,I have it folded.
    Hope some of these tips,help out,I do stuff my self* on a low $$$*
