Hardtops

Merv, Funny you should ask.

I am currently working on a hardtop for my RMC, which of course is the same as a Harrison.

My hardtop started as a Homebush (... shhh Homebush is also a flopped RMC) but I didn't like it. You know what happens when you don't like something on your cobra ... you re-make it.

All hardtops involve a LOT of work to fit and you will need be comfortable in fibreglass laminating.

Actually, what might be better for you is there is a cobra owner in your neck of the woods who only recently took a basic mold off my hardtop.

I do have this fellows contact and I will seek permission to pass on his details.

Give me a call if you still have my number.

Cheers

Merv, I thought you lived in Queensland?"Beautiful one day, Perfect the next" It's only us Mexicans that should need one of them, (Plus a heater)!

G'Day Rebel.. I've got an RMC and would be interested in a hardtop later on.
Can you pass on some info please ?

Hi Merv , I have seen a number of hardtops used and they have surved there owners well but the only problem they have all had is when on a long hall like the Nationals and the sun is out they cannot enjoy the open top. They also take up a lot of room at the house and motel rooms .

Hi Merv,

I know that Superformance do a hard top as well...Cameron Parsons's SPF has one...maybe he and others could post some photo's for comparison of styles?

Paul, The Superformance hard top is one nice looking unit.

I'm planning on a rear window similar to the wrap around superformance one.

I've just got to find Cameron's car to get that window.
