    E-Body Convertible Top Frame
    « on: August 05, 2010 - 09:53:01 PM »
    Does anyone know of someone who remakes new or has an old convertible top frame?  I've not had any luck finding anyone.

    That's a tough one. I've seen used ones on Ebay but never saw any new repops. Too bad a Sebring or something similar can't be modified to fit a e-body because I see them all over the junk yards.

    Or can they?

    These cars are extremely wide by comparison to most modern vehicles...best bet is going to be to find a less valuable vehicle from the 70's/80's era that is still "full-bodied".

    I need one too.  THere are five for sale on ebay right now; sold together.  They look to be in rough shape.  Maybe we could split the cost and get two usuable pieces out of them.

    It wasn't me although I was very tempted.  I probably should have done it but the wife spent most of my reserve funds on furniture.

    Looks like a good one.  I was able to find one on ebay a few months back.  I will be curious to see how much this one goes for.  Thanks for thinking of us.
