    Thumbs up

     



    I'm thinking about 9 snaps across the back wood lip,an stapeled front edge to headerbow with loops sewed in for the other top bows. I got two yards of 60in.wide tan Sunbrela,should be more then enough.
    To work out the panel lay out for the fabric,I'm making a pattern of some show card. Looking like 3 parts to sew together at each side of center,plus a rear window I'll cut and do last,that will be a Oval shape like the Ford logo.
    Idea is for the design to fold down by backing off the two wing bolts that hold windsheild header bow and fold it back,, or to remove completely pull the two bolts at the main bow/body an unsnap the 9 snaps around rear cockpit lip.
