The starting point of the roadster and beginning of the top. I used the frame of an old folding chair and cut and welded it on the coolest setting of the mig to keep from burning through and made the rear removable bow.
The frame was made from aluminium rods and slats and hinges and conduit bits from the local home center, the front bow is brake line with a welded on male tab that inserts into a slot in the top of the windshield frame.
The idea is to make it light, weatherproof and foldable so it will fit in the trunk.
Each of the aluminum cross bows will be stitched into the top.
the sides of the top will be held down by Velcro like the system used on the OEM roadster.
It will use removable headers that attach to the windshield frame with a tab and secure behind the door with a seat belt buckle.
