Been working on this car for a Looooooooooooooooooooooong time .... I'm now considering creating a " T " top .... Not as large as say a Vette, just enough in size for the driver & passenger sides. This would involve moving the part of the upper frame structure, about 12 inches on either side .... so that the tubes would be closer to the center of the roof. If the car was violently " rolled " this would not be as strong as the original, however I did see what our fearless did while racing His Cobra. ... and that didn't have what the Daytona provides ..... all thoughts are welcome .....

Mike,

It sounds interesting. But it also sounds like a massive amount of structural and 'glass work - more than the end result would be worth. And the headliner would be even more challenging, if you could even do one.

Having experienced how much fun the thing is to drive, I regret making as many changes as I did, which really slowed my build.
