Woody and Sid: If you guys can get a low windshield Parrish top to the carbonfiber guy I will buy one immediately for my 67. I will even help pay for shipping of the stuff to the molder. I want one!

Mine is not a Parrish/Smoothline top. It is a top which is either an OEM top, or one that is damned close.

It looks really, hopefully after a few of these are made the price will start to come down and I'll be able to afford one.

But he's still paying shipping, so you're ahead.
I have an extra hood and a trunklid if you need samples. BillK might have a low hardtop in NJ, much closer. What window style is preferred?

Might be interesting to do the interior aluminum trim in CF....Sorry Woody, I'll shut up now, I think I got you started on this with a "Wouldn't it be cool if ...."

These looks awesome. Are you doing one for high screens? I'd like a factory or parrish syle top if you do and ship it to Oz.
