Yep, I chopped the top off!

She was originally a '66 289 Mustang Coupe, but now that I carved the top off and made a few mods, she's a '66 408 Mustang Coupe-Vertible. I can bolt the original top back on, or a soft top when it rains.

Come check it out if yer intrigued!

That looks very nice. It looks like you took your time and made it real clean. Good Job.

Thanks!

It turned out good, but I do want to go back and redo the hard top mounting setup. Currently it takes 5 mins to put the hard top on since I have to snug some bolts. I plan to use dowel pins and make the front slide into a slot on each side, then have the back drop onto guide pins and the latch down. When I built it, I didn't have a cage and was worried about the top coming off and hitting me in a rollover. Now that I've thunk it through, there's like NO way the top will come straight up - rather - it would take side forces, which two 1/2" guidepins the correct length would handle just fine. That way I can get rid of needing BOLTS to hold it down. :D
