    Denny and Bill, I think Bobby hit it . Shirley's problem is she likes to drive it to work but is afraid of the weather changes having been caught in the rain. She really liked the convertible feel with no top so would be torn between having the top on or leaving the top. A convertible soft top would really be the answer but she doesn't want to spend several thousand just to get it covered. I had even thought about just a snap on canvas top over the bars themselves but would still have to deal with the window seal to the top. I can buy a mid 80's convertible top complete on ebay for less than $200 but I would still have to remake the bars and mechanism to fit and then it may not have enough room to fold down into the big wheel tubbs. Then I would still have to have the canvas remade or at least repaired to fit. That is why I had thought of a permanent top and the fast back was to give it different look after 10 years on the road.
