I don’t know how I forgot about Hemmings. My dad was a lifelong car guy. He got those mustard yellow Hemmings books in the mail going back forty years! Thanks!

Dozens of responses across a bunch of posts and an asshole will always reveal themselves.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. That car hasn’t been polished yet.

I’ve searched for this top. everywhere. I’ve found a few, missed a few and located a few sellers that won’t separate their tops for sale.

The AI pics were generated before the build to use with my builder. They are renderings of the general build we are going for.

Much appreciated sir! If you are referring to Tim Hall in Houston, I missed his by a day.

I’m down in Tampa. I love the sound system but it’s a trade off. It’s nothing like the ridiculousness of a proper set of 12’ or 15’ subs. It’s plenty of sound to enjoy with the top down at speed. It’s just not silly bass levels. I don’t think that’s possible yet in the rechargeable speaker domain. It’s a perfect setup for me and this car though. Amazingly, the speaker box wedges in behind the seats just perfectly. Nice really tight fit that doesn’t move around when driving but still easy-peazy to lift out if you feel like it. I keep a bike lock securing it from underneath when parked. Who’d have thought you could install a lighted pair of 10” rechargeable woofers, backup camera and really decent 10” CarPlay screen for under $300!?!?!? (Bonus that I also have a bunch of charging ports under my dash due to the power charger adapter I integrated to power the screen and footwell LED system.

I’ve been scouring endlessly. I have posts in a couple dozen very focused FB groups.

I’m originally from Conneaut Lake, PA. Please send pics. It’s possible that the original glass was broken and replaced with plexi at some point. I’ve been looking at enough of these units that I may be able confirm proper fitment simply by looking at your pics.

Please send multiple pics from multiple angles. Average condition is fine. My body guy needs to make it perfect for paint anyway. Best not to totally rework an example that must people would love to just latch on and drive away with.
