Mark IV Hard Top - Mr. Bruce

[montyals]

Does anyone have contact info for Mr. Bruce? I'd like to order a Mark IV hard top. Thanks!

Got this off another forum from last December: Call Mr. Bruce, 412-466-1312.

Thanks!

Please pass on to us what Bruce is asking for his hard top. I have been looking lately and am curious to know.

Is this a guy that makes hard tops? Any pictures ?

Mr. Bruce does do hardtops. He also makes bodies like the Cobra slabside that two others have fit onto their FFR MkIV chassis.

Here is the Le Mans top, met this guy at SAAC 37. It is not a FFR car. He built his own side curtains.

This guy (I've got his contact info somewhere with more pictures) modified his trunk but I've also seen this Mr. Bruce top with a rear window opening so the trunk stays intact.

I've also got some pictures of the hatch back style that Mr. Bruce makes, somewhere.

Here are several variations of his regular hardtop

The guy with the green car above drove to Mr. Bruce's place in PA and had him custom fit the top to his car. He then drove it home rough and finished it in his shop.

Here are some shots of Mr. Bruce's Le Mans top with the rear window lift.

This a favorite of mine with the rear window that will open so the trunk can stay the same, the guy that posted these shots on ffcars has closed his photo connection so they are no longer available on the thread anymore. That's why, when I find something I like, I copy them into my files. It took me a while to find these though. I also like the side quarter windows in place of the 'vents'.

Like the green car, he had to make his own side curtains

I've got to get my car on the road and then I will move toward working with Mr. Bruce for a top similar to the one above in Guardsman Blue
