Gees ! ! What a fun vehicle .

I broke it in Death valley four or five times . It just kept coming back for more ! The canvas top was flapping in the breeze on the freeway , Ripped off and blew across the lanes . Oh , well , I’ve always liked convertibles anyway .

Nice part .No Computers ! Easy to work on , just gotta find the part .

For hard tops, smaller ones can be made with a Mattel vacu-form or one of the new ones sold by Micro Mark. You need to carve a wood pattern, then form sheet styrene over the pattern.
