68 Corvette Top Opinion
Okay heres the scoop, I did a frame off restoration and the seats are fresh and not on the floor any more plus I'm 6' 4" and thinking of going with a set of factory type glass roof panels, this would give me a little more needed head room. I would like some opinions on using factory dark smoked top like they had in the later C3s. I found a set on "B" pillar hard ware to make this a nice install. Has any one went with these? Any pictures? You option? BTW the Corvette is British Green 68, AL

I wish I could see pics of your car to determine the shade of green.
I think the tinted t-tops would look good. I like the idea of being able to see thru them. They have chrome reflective ones too but they might not look as suttle as the smoked ones.
My vote: smoked t-tops

My car is 73 ELKHART green coupe, and last year I bought (on EBAY) some smoke colored t tops that were an origional option in 73. They afforded me around 2-5 inches of head room and created a much different look. I like them so much I have never put the fibeglas ones back on. If you send me your EMAIL I will send you pics. I am at czmullins@earthlink.net or you can call me @858 442 2753 my name is Charlie.
