I think im past point of no return

[milehighbear]

I think I've gone past the point of no return. My wifes words were "Old man, have you lost your mind. If i used her exact words, I would have to post this in the arena. Now I have to start using my imagination to do the rest of it.

You have an awesome wife to even "let" you do something that crazy. Great project, what are your ideas (if you posted it, I apologize).

[LoneManWolf]

all i can say is thick plexi for the ultimate in sun roof

[milehighbear]

Tom is right, I didn't even tell her I was going to do this to the ghost.I just did it first and then showed her. But I figured that since I had already cut the back half off three years ago, doing this wasn't any worse. I still have the other 93L that I am going to keep in original shape so it's not so bad. She is an awesome wife thou, she knows whatever I do, it will be done safely. After 34 years, she knows me, lol.

Thom, I deleted my post because it occurred to me that I assumed you had just bought it, and might be wrong. Didn't want to cause confusion.

No, I've had the grey ghost for almost 4 years. It was at first made into a little truck. Now Im going to try and make it into something like the jeep or bronco do where the back is totally one piece and can be removed like a hardtop convertible. So I do have a lot of work to do, but i love Customizing as my wife and kids say. My last actual customizing job was an ElComino where i took back wall and window out and put a top on it to where you can get from front to back without going outside. Had a bed and Tv in it for taking long or short trips.

what ever you do I belive the time has come for the instalation of a roll over bar - Drive it like that you will love being able to look out the whole roof - I know the funtop hole is only about 3" smaller all the way around.

Looks like a great project,git after it and keep us up to date with pic's,x2 on the roll bar.

[Britstiva]

I really like that one project that someone posted a pic on here of... it's a Festi truck too.. but they brought the "C" pilar up to meet the "B" pilar... making it look like a rollbar on a Jeep.

Here's what has been done so far

I know I'm slow. Been having too much fun driving ghost with no top or back, but this is what I've accomplished so far. Got roof done. Im also gonna have a piece going from roof down and then all way back,

[chrisofna]

The club is a nice touch, lol.

What about any removable support pieces for the soft top to keep a bit of conture (<--sp?) to the top of it?

Kind of like the way the factory vinyl headliners have support rods to hold it up and keep its shape

[milehighbear]

yea, well you can't be to careful. I park the car in my driveway and you never know. I'm sure someone would love to take the ghost for a fun ride around the block. One thing thou, if i report it stolen, it is easy to spot out on the open road. I do have a cutoff switch also on it that has to be tripped for the motor to run and it is well hidden. I have the support pieces, I just have to trim them to size. They will lock into place where old support pieces were. The flat part in back will be a flat piece of board or like covered with the tonneau leather and will lift up and down and will be capable of locking in place.
