This was from a previous VS car and refitted and stetched to fit a CMC..no mold
Bummer Dr. C.
A glasspar would look awesome on one of these cars... Unfortunately the lenth is off. the fibersteel guys will not modify them for replicas... There was no talking Russ a few years back into doing it when he had my car in his shop.... But he was happy to sell one for 5k$ for me to cut up. I have one of Kirks,mbest bang for my buck... And Fiberstell did the rear window cutting fitting ( or at least they used to)
The rain gutter would also be challenging I imagine....
Oh well... Just day dreaming. My dad has a glasspar on his 356 and it just looks so darn cool.
Awesome job Alan.

What....For those "Wild Jungles" of Kauai??
Wouldn't you worry about a wild Chicken flying in?
Lol, One of my employee's had one (rooster) fly into our delivery truck while he was driving. Scared the crap out of him!
Yeah, I read that wild chickens are a big deal on your island. That one looks just like the ones we had on the farm when I was a kid and with all of those whaling ships out of Massachusetts in the early days, it's no wonder you have a bunch of our chickens over there. Just the thing to wake you up at 5am.......
I had a giant wild turkey crash on the hood of my big truck car carrier I was doing 70 what an explosion that was !
5am Ha, They're up at 3am around here!

Didn't we learn from Gordon's story that you shouldn't be hitting the wild turkey while driving?
My business partner also had a chicken fly across his path at 50 mph, it hit the side view mirror and exploded...white **** all over him and into the truck. Not a nice smell.
There has to be a 100 of them on the acre around my house. They are everywhere.
The cause, back in 92 we had hurricane Iniki hit the island and blew all the Chicken coupes apart. Since there are no natural predators to the chickens, they just multiply by the dozens!
I don't understand. Organic, free range chickens, Eat more chicken.

I don't understand either. When I'm at the grocery store and I see "Free Range Chicken" there is always a price associated with it. It's false advertising if you ask me.
Rusty;
I've forgotten the details, but there is a USDA approved definition of free range poultry. As I recall it has something to do with a certain percentage of time out side of cages.
Art,
I think Rusty's tongue is firmly in his cheek.
Lol! Sorry Alan, it happened again...
Back to our original topic.
@Alan Merklin How much does that top weigh? Can it be installed solo?
I am wondering what the shipping cost might be from Rusty Tubs.
Weights under 25 lbs, if installing alone I would first put a blanket on the back section of the car, easy two minute installation .
Mike, IMHO I would try to get a bare shell from RT. and a VS header bow. Fit the 3 rear rubber fasteners, install the header bow and lay the top on top of the bow mark and trim bonding the top to the bow and fill it in smooth. Then you'll have to fabricate a rear window out of racing window plastic and U channel rubber. Glue up the headliner material, test fit the U channel rubber that the side curtain rests against....Disassemble all of that then paint and reinstall.
The $1295 RustyTubs PlastiKon hard top says: Rear window and rubber included.

Even better!
Gee I thought this was a turkey shoot over thanksgiving. Chickens, not so much... 
Next month Ray.
