    Building a 29-30 chevy with my pop slickmick, that was a 4 door sedan till someone cut it up.When i ended up with it it was 4 doors,a cowel,part of the roof and rear section with no floors,laying in a pile.Building it into a touring as cheap as we can then while messing with the rear window peice i had a crazy idea of making a Carson style top thats removable.Im half way thru building the frame of it but just want to see pics if anyones got any?
     
  2. Metalshapes built this top which, I believe, lifts off.

    I found a couple of build pics that are not in the Tech Archives ( I think...)

    The top still comes off, it uses the stock Model A Roadster pins at the top off the windshield frame, and nuts & bolts at the back off the roof.

    Here´s one survivor. Built in late 40´s early 50´s, resting nowadays in Sweden and the car is owned by a great guy named Fedde.
    The top of the car is made by Carson.
