Default Introduction/Hardtop question....

This would probably be my first official post/thread (I mostly buy stuff)
I guess to start off by a formal introduction.
My name is Shayne Frebert, I live in Thurmont Maryland(near Frederick) and attend college at FCC, and if your near the area meeting up would be fun! Oh and maybe a pic of my vette would do some justice...




Mods so far....
Corsa Catback
Dynatech headers
Custom roll bar hoops
hurst pistol grip shift ****
Verticle doors(taken off now)

off the car and awaiting shippment...
Z06 replica wheels
228 cam? (im still learning the technical aspects)
Hand ported LS1 heads/decked 30 thousandths of an inch? with ls6 springs
Powder coated Victory red Z51 calipers and brackets
Hurst short throw shifter

its alot I know, I just dont know what to do with it all!

I deleted my question cause it was a dumb mistake on my part, thanks for the clarification.

Guess that makes this just an introduction! lol


Thanks for any help
-Shayne

I actually have a coupe but I would suggest talking to a body shop or a windshield shop. I would think you should be able to get it replaced locally without going to smoothline.

That's not an aftermarket hardtop, it's a factory piece. You will need a factory rear window for a FRC or Z06. Also, it's not a removable hardtop.

It may be the same or close to a Z06 or FRC top. But yea I think I would go to a name brand company like you said instead of a mom and pop, probably have better luck.

Good Luck hope you find what you need, you may be able to post in the Tech section and yhey may be able to give you a better idea.
