Fastback softtop?
« on: August 18, 2011, 09:04:17 PM »
I found this pic on an image search and think this top is awesome!
Anybody know where to get one? It's probably custom :(

That appears to be a one-of custom sewn top.

I started fabbing a custom hardtop this week. It will have the appearance of a soft top but will be comprised of 7 molded sections. I already created a mold of the forwards metal frame section(that the clamps under the visors grab) and the top edge of the bed/targa. I have 45 yards of fiberglass, 27 yards of 9oz 3k 5 harness weave Carbon cloth, 8oz Kevlar twill, several sheets of 3/8" Rohacell and 10 gallons of Jeffco Epoxy to play with.
