Title: rag top
Post by: Eyeball on December 30, 2005 3:19 pm

I saw a thread about this on the HAMB.

This would be cool to put in the roof of the A or another one..

yeah i wonder how that would look on the a,  probably seal better than what I got.  however i dont like the look of it with the top open.  Then again, I seldom have to top off mine.

I remember seeing those in the minitruck market a few years back, of course, they had power ones for your street rods as well.

Eh they are still somewhat popular in the sport truck market.  But from what I have heard, people have had lots of problems with them leaking.

yeah they use saran wrap to keep the water out if there is a deluge of rain-

they are cool-  I think it would be cool to make one out of bamboo rods and that flour sack material, or worn leather with little belts strapping it on the bamboo...  that would rule... wouldnt keep the water out but would RULE.

I already have one in my head actually....been trying to work out the details.  I figure I'll probably have 2 different tops that I'll be able to run.  I've even already got the bambo for it. hehe
