I reckon you'll get heaps faster than 25kmh on the straight Andy. Maybe up to even 50kmh! Geez, even Gregg can do that!

I know from the line across the boot of my car from where the hardtop pushed down and rubbed on it that there was at least a bit of down force.
BTW I couldn't push it down far enough by hand to hit the boot so that says something.

Looks great! I'm thinking plastic side windows for mine...using the type of plastic for convertible rag-tops....with a black vinyl/velcro perimeter attachment. Easy on/easy off.

Seriously though I really do like the Black Lemans top contrasting with the grey. Looks mean.

That's the High performance version too. It'll be a fair bit slower once he's troweled 50KG of concrete all over it to match the rest of the car

hardtop in Texas?!
I just picked up a Mr Bruce Le Mans hard top last night, soon to be fitted to my Hurricane 427 cobra build. (my wife, and her hair, will be pleased). Now I just have to figure how to engineer hinges, latches, glass, etc etc.

check out this series of videos for ideas and inspiration. The gull-wing hatches are a must for me.

Been out cruising today doing a bit of a shakedown before nats. All I can say is I wish I had done this sooner. The top is just brilliant. So much more pleasant to drive even without windows (which I am now working on getting something ready).

Looks good and great to hear that it makes such a difference as when driving. That way, it was not any wasted effort.
I can see hard top revolution forming.

A few more pics. Added a few stripes because the ball and chain loves it when I " waste time putting stickers on my car":
Ended up just missing the mount for the roll bar and dropping it down. Could not find anyone to bend one at the right radius. Can't run the rear stay, but at least it's there:
Some other pics of inside, hatch interior not finished off of course. :
