Just recently finished it and put it on the car. It was in the basement for over 15 years.

The only time I've had it on in over 2 years.. Rain was predicted for the "Vetts for Vets" show.. Note: It did not rain!

Ran without it for a couple of years after I got the car - now that it's on, it's staying on!

It has been seven years since I had my hardtop on. After getting it painted and a new soft top I didn't want to leave the soft top stored for any long period of time. But I plan on putting the hardtop on this year.
You seldom see a C-1 or C-2 around here with a hardtop.

Everybodies got photo (Some pretty cars in this trhead, BTW), but looks are only 10% of hard top.
The annoying fabric top flapping at 75 MPH is a thing of the past; with the cowl vent open,and side windows down, you get a nice gentle ventilation inside the car, and no buffeting, even at over 100 MPH with the HT on, and you don't get wind beat like you do with a top off or down.
The HT has excellent driver visibility, i did like the soft top for cruising and guzzling beer and going to drive in movies when i was younger as it was a lot harder for every one to see in the car, (I won't be fondling anymore 16 YO girls in my car at the Drive-in movies anymore at my age).
Topless was fine in my youger years, now, i am HT 100% of the time, as i do too much high speed driving to justify taking the top on and off for low speed around town putts.

This is my '66.
I removed the hardtop when I installed a new fabric top on the car and the hardtop has never been back on since. I have a '66 coupe for those days when a convertible isn't the best choice to drive.
