Pics of a hard tonneau cover?

I really liked K V's aluminum tonneau, are there any other examples of something like that? In his post he mentioned it was fabricated for an original back in 57. Pretty cool and I've never seen one before.

Check out gtwerk DOT com. Beautiful stuff!!

Greg, I was originally gong to use a fiberglass guy that was probably molded in the 70s, but it didn't quite fit. Shortly after it hit the bricks, I wound up making one that worked better with my overall roll cage scheme. The width measurement was something like 46 inches in order to make the bow upward; it would be the same if you wanted to flex it down instead. That would mimic a soft cover, but you'd have to massage it a bit with a rubber mallet to have any tensile strength at all.
You'd probably have to anchor it similarly to what I did, or rivet it to a rib and attach the rib to the posts which hold the frame for your convertible top.
The underside of my aluminum piece was the most difficult part to make. It took a few passes with the cutting wheel to make the angle flexible enough to complete the complex curves.

Cory your car is so special I don't even think of it as a standard kit based replica. I actually thought the tonneau on yours was one piece with the rear section of the car. Amazing!

GB - for a visual reference, here are a couple of pics of our own Desi's (cabanaboy) outlaw with its brushed aluminum tonneau...

Thanks Jim, Desi's car is SANO!

Bill, this is a very fluid car. There are some pics of a red Speedy that must be a newer car as it is in Hawaii.

Desi's got me beat, hands down. I love that look.

I own two. The black one is in Wa. awaiting paint. Hopefully it will look as good as Desi's when done...
