We're toying with the idea of making a top for our '28 Chevy roadster. But we're not installing doors so we need it to flip back so we can get in. I know someone has done this but I figured I'd ask here see if anyone has done it and has pics/help. Thanks!
Look at deucedup's thread on his Cobra. He did just what you're planning, albeit with a factory style top.
When Total Performance was in business they made a hard top for their 23 T's . It was hinged and flipped back so you could get in the car . I had one for the roadster I built it looked good but I never put it on and then I sold the car and later I sold the roof .
