oldest chief

I have a 2006 356 Porsche Speester replica built by Vintage Speedsters in CA. - Does anyone know where I can buy a convertible top? Other than from Vintage Speedsters?

JPS Motor sports uses the same shop as VS, an NOS CMC top will fit but looks el cheap...VS is your best source as I have installed many of them.

last spring I gambeled and had a guy in Mexico make me an articulated frame (low bow to replicate OEM original), and Twillfast® (View), also called Sonnendeck Canvas, an American-made canvas - a cost-effective substitute for Sonnenlan.

i turned out ok... Had some modifications (tips from Mango Smoothie) once I got it. I ordered the top without fasteners so I could install my own tenax fasteners to match my VS, and installed/glued my windshield top bow-to-Twillfast top to ensure proper tension/ fitment to my car when top is locked in place.

he also included the side windows--- I riveted the post on my self to ensure proper fitment to my car.

attached is Rafaels email and a few pics he sent me (not of my car). I could take some pics of my car when I get home... I'm in Europe next couple of weeks.
