Guinea Pig

I haven't talked this up in a while but I'm going to do this. Still trying to decide on the size slide. I'm hoping to have it done as soon as it gets a little warmer because I'm planning on raptor lining my top so that will require a warmer day. Hope to report back on this and peek some more interest.

LOL we are waiting for you to be the guinea pig!

Saw the streetbeat tops also hyghlnder. They look pretty good, but most things I have read about them claims they are pretty second rate. If anyone has heard different I wouldn't mind opening an ear. The guinea pig I shall be. Hate to mess up a perfectly good 66 top with the wrong cut. Ha ha.

i have been waiting also this seems like a great idea to me.

It's time. I have been in contact with a gentleman named Rob for the sliding ragtops. I know many are interested in this idea but want to checkout the install and final product to make sure it's for you. So Blueblot got his wish. I'm the test subject on this. Just got off the phone and ordered one that is 40x70. Should be here in a week or so. In the mean time I will prep my top to be ready for raptor liner, cut the hole for the top when it gets here, coat my top and then put the ragtop in. Hope it works out great and as planned. I will do a write up thread on it to try and show as much as possible.

Alright waiting to see this!

Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

Sliding top arrived yesterday. There was a holdup with having to have the frame repowder coated but it's here. I plan on cutting the hole for install in Saturday. If anyone is in the area and wants to stop by let me know. I have a booth reserved for Tuesday to spray the hard top and then will do final assembly a few days later to wait for full cure on the raptor liner.

 

[Bucky66]

Installed yesterday. Not to bad. I did with just me, so very doable. I plan on doing a write up one I put the top in the booth and make I pretty this week. All in all.... It's awesome.

Looks great!

What did your price end up at?

 

[Bucky66]

I was very lucky and wound up with a promotional deal and will provide them with install pics and final product pics as part of the deal.

 

[Bluebolt]

Can't wait to see more pics!

 

[Bucky66]

Here's a couple until I shoot the hardtop this week with raptor and make it all pretty

 

[Bucky66]

This is without the rag and before all installed

 

[Bucky66]

I hardtop is raptor lined as of last night. I did inside and out tintable liner in white. I plan on letting it cure the full 7 days and then put windows and ragtop in.

DOWN RIGHT SCARY!!!!!! Their web site shows a black '57 Ford Fairlane with the top cut out. I have a '57 and would not even consider doing that to it. With a replaceable top on a early Bronco then yes, but NOT my '57!!!!

 

[Bucky66]

Yeah not sure about in a car or truck but in a hard top for sure.

 

[Bucky66]

Tonight is the night. Going to the shop to put the fresh top on the truck and final assembly of the ragtop. Hope to post a couple pics tonight
