Cool

Looks kool Stretch. Living in Hawaii, a ragtop is perfect for those classic cruising days. I was gonna do a big one for my Datsun wagon, but never got around to it. Did you do the install? I was having a nervous breakdown just cutting a hole on my fenders for sidemarkers...that is one huge hole. Looks like a perfect install. Must be fun driving an almost convertible.

Damn, that is pretty cool. I was watching Trucks on TNN on Sat. and I saw them install one of them in a truck. It looks pretty cool and seems somewhat easy to install and use! I am sure that you will enjoy it! Congrats! :beaver:

install

Yes. It was very easy to install. I had a local shop cut the hole for $25 because i didnt have the cuting tool. The shop in town charges $1300 for an identicle roof like mine and the do-it-yourself price is $630. I saved some money! I would recommend to anyone, if you dont feel comfortable cutting get a pro to do it and the rest is a piece of cake. The wiring is constant(+),switched(+),and ground.

One word: Cajones.


You must have large ones.


Vince

One question, do they make even larger ones? that go back even further?

Yes but they are made by streetbeat and not by the inalfa(european)manufacturer. I heard a lot of neg. things about those models. I believe the biggest i've seen in 40x80.
