Way to keep at it Mark

People, these tops are not going to happen! I signed up for an earlier group buy for one in August of 2012. In June of 2014 I received a credit from Mark for my deposit and used it for some other parts. I was tired of waiting...

As much as I’d like to complete these there have been a series of setbacks. Mostly on the materials side. I have thousands invested and countless hours, but just can’t do these right now.
Part of this is due to the day job.
I will get back to this eventually, but more pressing things (like getting my sons 914 back together) have cropped up.

I don't care about the timing but is there a list of possible colors available?
I want silver.
I'm willing to wait...

These were made from acrylic, we can get a silver, but it’s not transparent. The mirror isn’t either.
The problem we are still running into is the consistency of the material. It looks like we could do these, but we would have to place an order with the us manufacture directly, and the minimum is not small.
This is not the complete issue. With the polishing I have spent over 10 hours on each roof total, to do these, every other project will suffer for months.
We are currently working on the retool of the dash tops - to actually sell them for less than the solid rubber ones, as well as doing another run of the solid ones now.
So with materials and time issues these haven’t been at the top of the list.
Will I ever do them again, most likely, but not in the near future.

For now we are focusing on the new dash tops. Once things get a little less busy we can get back to these.

Timing on this is good. I just finished one and had my nephew cover it with the Expel self healing film. This is the best way to protect them. More pics in a few days. We will be ramping up production on these.

Mark,
I have finally caught on to your evil marketing plan.
I promptly responded that I'm in (see post #40) and soon had a several hundred dollars gift certificate in anticipation of using it as partial payment for a top.
Then before the top is available, you have a sale on your awesome bumper tops. That gift certificate was then Poof! Gone.
Another update on the top and another gift certificate is soon in hand.
Then you have another sale on LED headlights and Poof! Gone that gift certificate is spent.
Another update on the top and a new gift certificate is in hand.
Now I just know another cool product is about be released like a wheelchair lift that stows completely under the rear deck lid (I recently turned 60) so you're guaranteed to get this last gift certificate, too.
Then another tease about the top just to keep me hooked.
My car hasn't seen daylight in years and the Saratoga top is just the motivation I need to start working on it. My car's fate is in your hands.
For those that visit the Bird Board OT ~ Poof! Gone is a registered trademark of Vash, Inc.

I’ve always been interested in one of these and at one time years ago had my name submitted for a waiting list.
Would love to see what your WAS top has evolved into and get current info on price, options, availability and wait time

Getting ready to put mine on the car, great time of the year to use this roof.
I got this from 914 rubber quite a while ago one of their first editions.

On the way out to the barn now.
To answer the question, windows up on a sunny day way too warm!!
However think about it as sunglasses. On a sunny day, when you would have the top off, it gives you some shade.
I made this because here in the NW we do actually drive our cars in the rain. Rather than take off and put on every time it looks like rain, now you are covered! Literally.
