Thanks to everyone... I am really happy with the way it flows on the car. I will not put a back window in it. It is too much work and increases the potential for leaking. I only have basic stuff to do this kinda work. I am waiting to score a cheap back up camera to install tho'. Rat with a...

it's done! With the help of the wife I got the frame covered and I am very pleased with the look.

Fabric test fit I am home alone and didn't have enough hands or clips to make it as tight as the final product will be. But, you get the general idea.

Okay... I need my 62 falcon wagon done... gotta ball park price on front and rear bench with four door panels (white). Stitching just like the red/white one you posted but all white. I have it all removed from the car. Might need to build new panels for the doors but have rough originals for...

Thanks guys. I mean, after all, we post pictures here for feedback and positive feedback is even better. True to my nature... I have modified the framework since posting these pictures. The rear two vertical supports with the slight arc at the bottom looked good until I "test stretched" some...

Buy shorter shocks. Any mini-truck mag will sell "short shocks" for lowered rigs. Or... go to the parts store and look through the books to find a shorter set (the books have the measurments in them). I have done this several times when I have cut a 1-2 coils on my projects. The best bet...

Just came across your build. With that car and your pretty wife drivin'... many dudes will be driving off the road or rearendin' cars gawkin' at both. Nothin' is better than a sweet car driven by a cute gal. Very nice work, bro.

Sam, I have missed this until today. This thing is fantastic. Custom baby!!!

I have no idea since I built this thing about 2.5 times to get it how I wanted it. I think I could build this same one again in about 4 hours if I had to. I had no plan and built this as I went.

I was just running this addition to my 67 Volkrod project thread, but I got a couple requests to make it it's own thread for a "carson top" build. Hope no one minds the double posts as I start this thread but add to my original build thread so it is all in one place. For those that haven't...

carson top Got some time after Spring Break and being back to work to finish up the frame for the Carson Top. I welded in some more cross bracing to support the bows and keep the fabric from sucking down between bows when pulled ubber tight. I didn't get the very front done because still...

Progress/Hold Downs Saturday my Mom came over and helped me sew up the canvas I plan to use to cover the framework with. It came out really nice. I still need to add a couple support tubes the back bow. As for latches/holddowns: After looking at latches locally I didn't think they were...

This thing is very cool... don't know how I missed it since I am a sucker for father/son projects. Really, really cool!

That is probably the problem. Open a Photobucket.com account... it is free. The you will just click on the "img" to copy, then paste it in the post. Works best for me when I have RRR open in one window and photobucket in another to just jump back and forth to copy/paste. Hope that helps.
