Well, I finally bit the bullet and ordered up a new Sid Chaver's Bop Top for my roadster yesterday...Not cheap in any way, but after looking at every other top on the market I have no doubt this is the best looking one. Talked to Sid himself and he was a really nice guy. Told me it would be about 2 weeks for delivery. I already ordered the flush mount top kit from Rod Tops (which Sid told me will work with his top with a minor modification to the thread-in portion of the kit) I had Rod Tops make me a special kit with additional length to the pins, in hopes i can anchor them through the existing square steel tubing in my body. I also asked Sid Chavers to include a pair of the stock style mounting tabs just in case I decide the flush mount setup won't work. It seems the toughest part of the whole project will likely be getting my uphulstery panels off to access the inside of the 1/4 panel. Was wondering if anyone here has ever installed one of these tops or have mounted tabs into a car that didn't already have them? Once again this will be one of those projects that would be a breeze on an unfinished car, but will likely be hell to attempt on a completed/painted car...I figure it can't be any bigger of a task than the windshield was, time will tell!
