What to do with that big hole on the roof of your coupe

I just left the hole. Fits right in with the windows and floor.

Hey that's my motto- get your own!

 

Gunther, a friend of mine from Austria,decided to use a piece of orange tinted plastic to fill the hole. You get nuts sitting in it. It´s like being on heavy drugs and wearing deep orange sunglasses at a time I´m sorry you can hardly see it on the pic...it´s the best I could find.

 

Alright, I did it now too. I was sick of getting a sun burn and people asking me how I chopped my coupe as they looked through the hole in the top. Crease's idea worked like a charm.

I will say this though, I used a standard 1/2 inch window rubber as my finish trim and I am going to go for a slightly bigger (3/4 inch) size becasue it didnt seem to lay down as well as I wanted it to. The top is Leatherette (best word ever) and it looks way better than what I had

I also noticed that my car is dark as hell inside now and seems really low. It is a fun weekend projct and I will post some shots after I add some foam and different rubber trim.

thanks for the idea

Very cool! Makes me real happy that someone found the info of use. I think Im gonna give my radiator the low n loud treatment, really like the way your grill shell sits. Your car looks kick ass, it really sits nice.

Crease,
Looks good.

Did you put any bows in the top. Does it sag in the heat down there?

Thanks.

yeah it sags in the heat, but what's that got to do with my top? Just kidding, I've got wood all the way around the hole and then one piece down the middle. I still want to do some tweaking on the wood. I didn't use hardwood and the radius isn't quite perfect. So far no sagging.

Talkin to Antichrysler a while back he's say's your car runs as great as it looks. I'll have to get you to take me for a ride at the drags.
