hardtop convertable? help!!!

Oh this just came to mind. You could make a tounge and grove setup also. You would get a good seal from that.

i live in northeastern ky. and no joke, it has litterally rained for like the last 5 days
which makes me a little uneasy with building a roadster

im gonna try to design a latch, a buddy mentioned a tongue and groove setup to me

my last s-10 me and a friend were drinking one day and decided "hey, lets make your truck a removable hartop" so we get out the body saw and start hacking away and finally wind up with this



after trying and trying to make it a new roof i finally just gave up and made it a fulltime convertible



heres one but u cant see it quite so good...lol

also chopped the front glass too and couldnt find anyone around here to make me a windshield so i made one from plexiglass

ha juice... you wanted to trade for my s10 a while back. The one with caddy tails and fins.....

if you do this without a kit, do a how-to because i plan on doing the same with a tongue and groove.

here are pics of the one I did bro.




I wish I took more pics just remember on the back frame to put support across the back of the cab to hold her stiff.

Wow, that has to be irritating as fuck to have the cover plate hitting you in the shoulders.

Hm, im thinkin about the same thing to my next truck, ive had 2 roadsters, and BOTH have been a pain because of rain. I am looking at a cab plus myself, and wanted to figure a way to cap off everything with steel, and then put something there to seal it really good. I have a plan for the back/sides, but the front im really blank on, i still want it to look ok, and not hacked, but i want it to be sealed too! LOL

How do you keep the top of the windows sealed? weld the cut portion to the roof?


IF i do it, i will make sure to do a how-to.. but it wont be untill the spring..

good luck getting it not to leak
