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?

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
Jan 8 2017, 06:21 PM
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
