There seemed to be some interest in a project I worked on many years ago now. I never took pictures, it wasn't my car or even my project. I was brought in to lend some expertise. I built a bender to form an arch shaped roll bar for this hand built 928 roadster.
We then welded sheetmetal to the back of the bar to form a wing shape, made a third brake light with a custom formed lens. Then the guy that did my Pasha seats in my 914 covered the bar with tan leather. He used a cool baseball stitch on it, all hand sewn. Larry found this video from Barrett/Jackson.Spyder Werks first proto type sells |

This is a couple of generations later. This car has a working power top that hides under a hard cover. It lost the roll bar though. The projector lamps are from a Saab IIRCC. I helped with the final shape of this car.
