Hot Rods Check out my new snap on roof

Scott...I have a friend interested in doing something like that with his A coupe...can I ask where you had it done and some details?...thanks

 

Looks killer and having a top might be almost as good as having a heater if you were in Texas, but not sure even a heater would work in the cold temps of Mich.

 

It looks good Scott. What I want to know is how are you gonna see the traffic lights now

 

Linwood Upholstery did it, about 25-30 miles north of me which puts it about 150 miles north of Detroit. It's canvas done up like a toneau cover. I don't even have any of the wood bows in the roof, just the single main steel bow in the center. The guy's name is Dave Julian (989)697-3671. Cost me $260 and it was done in one day. Really cool guy too, I dropped it off at his house and he let his own 55 Chevy sit outside while he worked on my car. He wasn't going to be around so he said he'd leave the car under the awning in front of his garage and told me to just leave the money in a little flower pot on the porch! I think I'll go back to him if I ever get my aluminum seats covered.

 

Ouch! Probably shouldn't mention the billet aluminum tri-fan wheels I have picked out for it.

Rich, traffic lights are kind of a *****. I really have to hunch down in the seat to see them when I get really close. I think sinking the floorpan will be part of the plan over the winter.

 

Snap on roof you say. Never heard of them. I've heard of snap on tools. They were Billy Jean King's tennis sponsor.
