I just learned of this new top but I don't know anything about them.

Care to educate a newbie?
What are the benefits?

Well if you are from Oregon where a lot of sunshine is liquid it's often the only way to feel you have the top off. There was a Saratoga top that was made in the 70s-80s and it was poorly fitted I decided to make this using a fiberglass structure to be able to use factory seals and hardware. Making it seal about as well as the factory roof.

Clear is an option. going to start fixtures Monday

Maybe by March I can replace the money I had set aside for this after the thread started in 2012. Unemployment in 2014 ate that and a whole lot more, though...

Since materials are up in the air, I assume we'll have to wait on the color/tint options until after that's settled?

IF there is a waiting list, Id like to be put on it?

Thanks,

Steve

You are kind of on it. I'll be contacting all on thread as soon as I'm comfortable with production. As far as color. We think smoke will be standard, but will be able to do some color options. Cost for options will obviously be an added cost, we will figure that out once we know what you want. So if you want a green one let me know.
We can check that out.

Hi Mark!! How different will the new ones be compared to the old ones?
Mikey914
The new ones will be a similar build, but we are making improvements to make the fit / finish better as well as adding in some new features I'll elaborate more on once we've been able to test.

I have a few formed up and ready to bond and cut. WE are also changing some items to mate these even more durable. I just haven't had the time to work on these lately, but will in the next few weeks.

Any progress on these ! Just wondering?
Mikey914
I'm finishing up getting the steering rack program up today. I have one I will be building this next week for a customer if all goes well. We can then start looking at production.

Hi Mark.
Since origination of this topic (6/7/2012) I want to know what the current cost is on the WAS tops and is there a formal G/B list to purchase?
Thanks
Al
Mikey914
There will be, and I have to evaluate the production when I make this to use for costing. We did completely redo the tooling on these.
Mark.
Rod
How's this going Mark? I'd love one of these in the UK if you're game!
Mikey914
Actually clearing off my plate of a few projects these will be on the docket this year, Christmas possibly, the big issue is some fixtures I need to do
Rod
Xmas present to myself then hopefully!
Mikey914
As many of you know I have retooled the process for making these and now that the master cylinders have launched I can go back and get these moving forward again. Just working out a few minor details but the GB will be opened back up. I know a few of you have been patiently waiting. The pricing will be going up a little working out details now.

Mikey914
Intended to put some time in on these, but had a few issues. I'd like to give you an ETA, but not sure when I can get back to it to be honest. It's not forgotten, but I'll be working with Scott to see if he can help out.
