I was thinking that someone made a hard top from a 944 roof, or something, but couldn't find the correct pet words to bring it up in the search box?

Some of it looks doable for me, but I'm wondering on the curvature of the roof how he got it to roll front to back and left to right, or does it just look that way?

More pics would be nice.

I think Dan & I both owned the Steel-Top 2 Times Each. I sold it to a Member in NH and I haven't heard anything since.

If ya think about it, the top has the same curvature as the rear truck lid, couldn't a person just modify the rear trunk lid, or would that be too much fun?

It's on the list of things to do. Just need to get the chassis off the rotisserie and the real fun can begin

I still have the Steel-Top. Currently a project in progress for me. 3.6 and 915 sourced and being fitted, wired and plumbed. Then steel flares and probably a repaint. Taking longer than I had hoped/wanted, but still moving forward.

Hi,
What motor was in there before, and what are you doing with that motor?
If you are thinking of selling it, please PM me the details.

When I bought it the 2nd Time, the 2.5 didn't have a lot of miles, but it seemed tired - it could have been because the Solex's were rebuilt by MotorShiester. I think I sold the motor to VYSOC & the Car as a Roller to Jim

Dan used a early 944 for the simpler sun roof.

he also stated that he would never do another one as that one was very difficult to get just right and took too much time.

he spent a ton of hours on it and it really showed. he had the drip rails contoured to look right, and the drain tubes for the sunroof were done.

Tc can comment more on it.
