I just purchased a custom 41 Chevy Pickup and am playing with the idea of making a removable hardtop. I've searched high and low and done the search feature on the forum but have found no info on doing this. I know a lot of the new mini trucks do it and are quite successful.
I'm looking for articles or advice on doin this. I'd probably use latches like http://www.speedwaymotors.com/product.ASP?wc=true&strBase_List=&hilt=&source=2192&base_no=91007316&str_base_no=000%2DCATALOG+STREE T%2C5501016%2C5501017%2C751A702352%2C751A76819A%2C91004061%2C910045%2C910046%2C91004600%2C91007%2C91 007310%2C91007315%2C91007316%2C91052800%2C91052851%2C91052855%2C91052860%2C91052862%2C91052865%2C911 02510%2C&header_title=Street+Rod+Products%2DHinges+%26+Latches&page_name=prod%5Flist%5Fdisplay%2Easp &search_type=L2%7E423&search_option=&deptsearch=&dept_id=L2%7E423&dept_id_p=&dept_name=&dept_name_p= Street+Rod+Products&ShowImages=yes&sq=0&cont=1&intPgNo=1&redirect=
I'm hoping to go about 3" above the windshield as the first cut. And cut flush with the bed in the rear. I know there are going to have to be weather stripping issues resolved and all sorts of goodies. Looking for advice for a newbie.
