I've decided to go with a hard top, after experiencing what the Engman long kit can do for our cars I am now working on a hard top. I have decided to add a little more steel to the windshield frame. I used 14 gage steel and have significantly strengthened the windshield frame. I think theres enough steel to make a big difference. I need to get my steel flairs and a 944 top and head back to Washington state to get things going again.
