@Mikey914 Mark, there are tint options right? can you do a copper colored tint? :edit: i’m in for a “rose smoke” color i think, i’d like to see a sample but i thing that might be cool

I think we can so some options. They may be more expensive as we are doing a bulk run of the acrylic processed in the optimum shape. Otherwise a roof takes a whole 4'x8' sheet.

maybe if we get a few to do the same tint it would bring the cost down on that tint option? if it’s a lot more i’ll just get stock smoke color but the rose metallic might be cool for the copper 914

A greenish tint might be cool
@Mikey914 it would be great to get one of these for a G body 911
! They always sell quickly on Pelican but are SUPER rare.

Yes working on that version also.
As far as the tint goes yes we can do a few different variations. Of course we can do just about anything for color but that comes at a price. That is why we tend to stick to stock colors. There is a pretty good palette, so more to follow as we get closer.

I'm in for one with hardware. Don't know what happened last time, I stated my desire for one, but was not contacted any further. How does this work, do we just state it here and you will contact us?
Mikey914
Mar 31 2021, 05:42 PM
You got it. The list is here.
However the 1st ones will be produced without hardware.
You will be able to use factory hardware. The rear we should be able to provide shortly.

We are currently working on improving the fiberglass portion of this part. It in turn will make the roof more rigid and improve the manufacturing method to allow for production on a larger scale. Materials issues on the acrylic are looming as suppliers are increasing prices (same with fiberglass), but we are actually making progress.

Would these survive the Arizona sun? I think a smoked one would be nice except dark objects quickly hit over 190F when in the sun.

They do have a greenhouse effect and will roast you in the summertime, especially in AZ.

Will be posting up on about 10 days. We have really redesigned a lot on how we made these and it's finally coming together.

Okay, dumb question. What does WAS mean, as in WAS top?
Mikey914
Jul 9 2021, 01:13 AM
We were Whitesell Architectural Supply, Inc when we made the 1st run so WAS top.
My primary business was Aluminum glass railings. My son now runs that business and I have moved to my "fun" job of making parts for our cars. I still wind up helping him out on some of the more technical jobs, but focused on making parts for our cars now.
To spin off the company we created Whitesell Design Groups do technically they would be WDG roofs, but will stick with the original name to keep it from getting more complicated.
Clear as mud?
Anyway more to follow shortly.

Great news.I'll order a second top ifI can take delivery at the WCR and save on shipping.
Mikey914
Jul 15 2021, 05:37 AM
That may or may not be possible. Mainly due to a few others that want the same and I will be driving. The 1st prototype should be done in about 10 days. Main problem is I've been working the day job quite a bit lately and I have training in 14 days so I will have to devote some headspace to that too. Either way I'll post up a progress up date with some pics. I really think it will be ready. Just racing the clock.
