Tony,
That top sure does look good.
I have decided to head down the same direction with a soft top. Agree that its more suitable for that quick on and off.
Doug has a very good idea regarding the fitting of the side curtains. He made up some small brackets similiar to the MGA for Tom's red Cobra.
They look good and save drilling into the top of the door.
I am using a company called Red Atlanta in Geelong for my roof. They have just re done my seats. Michael the guy there does all of the Ford motor Co. one off display cars.
He had a Pebble Beach car there when I was first there and it won best trim back in California. A rare Alfa sports racer.
Cheers
Bernie
