    Soft top with zip off sides for 88?

    Zip off sides and rear canvas, to convert to surrey top for wheeling and hot weather.

    Anyone know of one? None of the usual suspects seem to produce one. My buddy the search button ain't givin' it up

    Perhaps one-off made to order only?

    Bueller?

      I surfed the site, but didn't call Chris.

        I've seen one that has slide out sides, and screen windows that can be slid in for camping too! It also could be used as a pick up configuration, a full canvas, and a rear 3/4 canvas. It was a great modular design.

        Who was the genius who developed such a great design? That would be a Mr. safeoneair!

          Saw that. Uber sweet. I stoked the thread on G&R.

            Ha!

            Yeah, I replied over on G&R that I just don't have the time to make any modular soft top components. They're pretty complicated and time-consuming to make. I just don't have that sort of time right now. I might bang out several bikini tops, but that's all I foresee in the immediate future.

            Ironically, just today I received the material to make the removable rear wall to the revised pickup cab I made last year. I got tired of freezing in the mornings with the rear of my cab completely open.

              There are a couple of guys in my area that have pretty cool Velcro front windows.

              They have a galvanized fairing along the front edge.

              I have a photo of a sort of mustard color 88" on my flickr page that I can link when I get home. User name on flickr is bhcmbailey.
