first of all this was not a 5 window or I would not have gotten jiggy with the jig saw.
What I now have is a 50 convertable truck Chevy SS-R stole my idea
I saved the cut out and will make flanges of some sort so the piece will be re-attachable. I am not sure what kind of latches to use maybe something like a suitcase has. It is my utility truck for my hobbyfarm and it stays in the barn except on nice dry days so the top stays off all the time. I will take some more pics but I'm not sure how to post them on this forum? or should I just ust the web page link?
more later,
Rick
