Do you say chase up because of your hemisphere, around here we say chase down. But either way, I don't think I own anything that can chase down or up a 6 pack car!

Your thinking with the wrong attitude, Its not just in regards to what Hemishere i live in, but more of what Hemishere is on top of my Big Block Mopar ! Chin up..... more cubes and multiple carbs and your in the running...

Hello boys,
my questions is a bit off-topic from your noble quest for factory made cars, but I'd like to know what color combinations were used on Mod Top cars - I know of Blue top/B5 Satellites, Yellow top/Yellow Barracudas and Green/Green Dodges, but I also saw the white-with-blue-top Satellite mentioned somewhere. Are there any more combinations? Does anyone make reproductions of Mod Top material? Or is it possible to find a really good resolution picture of the pattern?

I have a non-Mod Top car (in fact, it's even '68), and I don't care too much about exact corectness (will be a clone/restomod anyway), but I love the Mod Tops and would like to get one on my car. I was thinking about either B5 car with Blue top, or making a custom Mod Top to match QQ-5 turquoise...

Well you can jump on to the Mod Top registry and have a look at some different colors on their. You will be able to get some color Mod Top material from Laysons, It is not exact but perfect for what you want to acheive, will look real cool too. Post pics when you have done it.

I agree, that site probably has the availability. I want to buy an A4 Satellite Mod Top if I ever come across one.

---

what color Mod Top would you have on your A4 Satellite...... My Favourite would be the Black on Black with Blue Mod Top 70 'Cuda that Karl Smith owns........... Something about the color combo just appeals to me.......I can visualize it....... in my garage - I WISH !

Quote:

---

Only Blue Mod Tops were available on B-Bodies. (Only Plymouths are Mod Tops.)

---

This is the original fender tag off of this 'Cuda. Do the break down on the tag. Ask Galen about the car, Super rare !

I have problem with Mod Top registry - the pictures don't work for last month or so. Do you experience the same, or is problem on my side?

I just jump on the link that kissalien posted and it loaded straight up with pictures. You must have a problem with your computer. Internal issues!

Problem solved - I just had to use Internet Exploder instead od Firefox

By the way, what do you guys think about combination of QQ-5 Turquoise metallic and blue vinyl top from Satellite?
I am trying to imagine whether it would work, but Q5 is very tricky color to photograph (and I have never seen a car with that color in person).

---

68 Coronet in QQ5 Turquiose with a Blue Mod Top would look great....... Build it how you want i say. What color trim, would you put the Blue Mod Top material inserts inside the car aswell with Black vinyl ?

Be sure I will build it like I want - but I don't know how I want to build it yet

My favourite combination is currently QQ-5, blue Mod Top, white tail stripe and when the time comes maybe a white interior (I must stick with the black for a while due to limited budget).

But I was also thinking about white car with Mod Top and Mod Tail Stripe (put a Mod Top pattern on the sticker of tail stripe). But I think the QQ-5 will win...

Intereting.......... Mod Top Bumble bee twin 68 stripe. The White stripe on the Turquiose car would look great, real classy...
The Blue Mod material would work much better in White trim as inserts over Black anyway... That is if you put inserts in of course.

I am full of crazy ideas ... We'll see what I end up with

As for the interior - I don't know, it will stay black for at least a year, while I'll be dumping cash into the mechanicals... But white with mod inserts sounds nice...

No, not really. Most of them tend to look alike. The neatest one I know of is this. It's probably the same one Juliano has.

That's it. My wife's car is exactly like it but has a blue handpainted accent stripe and without that funky looking trim down the side. It's a 383 car and was part of a lot of 12 cars prepared by Plymouth to be forced on dealers as part of a promotional gimmick pushing the ill-fated ModTop.

Have you had any luck with the picture of your wifes car yet, you have me interested. "accented stripe" does anyone else know what he means or have pictures.

option code is V7B longitudinal paint stripe. B for blue, W for white etc. V6B would be the blue tape stripe. I havent gotten over yet to get any pictures, I will soon as I have to move the car, but this is one I took as I was cataloging things I was getting ready to move out.You can just see the stripe on the left front fender, it is a single stripe perhaps 3/16" at it's widest and tapered to a point at the front and rear.

Legendary have taken on reproducing new Gator Grain material (which i have already requested a sample of)

Once you get the sample, can you please start a new thread about it? Lots of folks need Gator.

Thanks,

I have been thinking and recieving many many e-mails in regards to Mod Top and thought we could start alist of who would be interested in Legendary making new Mod Top material...... the other stuff is not quit accurate enough and Legendary have taken on reproducing new Gator Grain material (which i have already requested a sample of) so would like to know who would be in need of Mod Top material if Legendary where to take it on board to supply please.

Are these painted on free hand like Kingy said ? or are they masked-up and painted ?

---

(ref: Roadrunner painted stripes)...
they appeared to me to have been hand striped with a Beugler striping tool... they had evidence of "track marks" where the stripe was worn thin. The Beugler tool has a round wheel with a side-to-side "tread".

Well that's good news. Keep us posted.
By the way Hemiken I have no idea how to send pictures through pm's, sorry. Tried to send you a couple of the cuda but to no avail.

---

Hi, you can send me pictures directly to my e-mail if you like. crossramken@optusnet.co.au

Anyone else who may be interested in Mod Top material now or maybe in the future for a project down the line they may pick up........... put a post up here to let us know please.

When you talked to Legendary did you discuss the Dodge floral material as well as Plymouths? Put my name in the hat as well as I need the Dodge mod/floral top. Thanks!!

---

What color combo is your car and what color Mod Top please.......... Love those Darts.

Anyone else want to put down for Mod Top material ????

Quote:

---

All Dodge Floral Tops are green and as far as I know only came on F6 cars. There was no matching interior for them.

---

Hi KISS Wonder if any Black Darts were made with the Green Mod Top Food for thought........ The old 69 Dart may have to go Black just to get a Green Mod Top just for kicks......... HA HA

---

Well, as the keeper of the Mod Top Registry, there are folks that email me from time to time wanting some material, so I could add at least several Barracuda folks wanting material, plus a few Satellite owners and maybe a couple Dart/Coronet owners.

It would be great to be able to tell people that Legendary is thinking of doing the material correctly, so they could also express their interest, too, and have a choice over the repro material that's currently available (with the thicker black lines).

See the difference in the Barracuda repro material vs. original material? (Repro is the top picture, NOS = bottom picture).



P.S. FWIW, here's a listing of all the ModTops I have in my registry. There is one A4 Silver Satellite, and it is a 383, not a 318 like most Satellite ModTops!

Hi JC,
What are the chance of you getting in touch with your registry members and asking them to jump on with a request please. Updated pics of their cars or even current pics of their cars would be fine.
Kenny.

Kenny,
Shall I ask them to petition Legendary directly, or get back with me so I can post to this forum, or ask them to join this forum to post themselves (unlikely many would do that)...?
JC

PS I've had this registry for many years and I've definitely lost contact with many ModTop owners because their email addresses have changed and did not get updated, but I'm definitely willing to send out a broadcast email to all Mod Top registry members to ping them for interest in Legendary material!

---

Hi JC,
I'm just glad to lend a hand in anyway i can as i personally think the Mod Top cars deserve a second chance at life with correct materials. It is good to see your enthusiasm and i am glad to help your cause with this issue of correctness.
Kenny.

Quote:

---

OK, I'll ping the ModTop owners and see what I get back in terms of interest for Legendary to do a new run of repro material truer to the NOS pattern.

I'll post back a summary of responses to this forum and also contact Legendary with the summary info.
JC a.k.a. ModCuda

Hi JC,
I recieved my ping from you. If anyone wants to respond here aswell they are more than welcome.

That is great news. Have or can you confirm that the Dodge Floral pattern is included? The reason I ask is that when Laysons did it they only made the plymouth style. Also, I registered my 69 GTS 383 with the Modtop registry and it never showed up on the site nor did I get a "ping". Thanks guys!

---

Jump back on and contact Moores Mopar about your details ! As for Dodge Material, i will have to get Legendary to specify what Mod Top material will be available.......... Hopefully it will be all forms of Mod Top, even the inside trim !!!!!!!!

I'm going to wait another week for those that haven't responded and then send the results plus whatever interest is shown in this forum to Legendary.

Quote:

---

Well, it's been a little more than a week but I've received a couple more responses.

So here are the totals as of 10/25/07:

Out of 123 emails that I sent out to ModTop owners and/or aficionados:
-50 bounced back as unreachable or unknown
-10 bounced as not yet been delivered
-52 have not responded
-9 responded back that they are interested (one person had more than one car):
-- 5 1969 Barracudas
-- 2 1969 Dodges
-- 2 1970 Cudas (Yellow)
-- 1 1970 Cuda (Blue)
-- 1 1969 B-Body
2 responded that they don't need material at this time.

I will pass this information on to Legendary Interiors!

ModCuda

Excellant to hear the response so far Modcuda.
Maybe some people on this thread can reply with what color Mod Top material they would be interested in. there is nothing concrete yet but if more people jump on board, things do happen. no one will hold anyone accountable for showing interest in a part. It all just helps to get the ball rolling

Quote:

---

What's the latest word form Legendary on this? Are we still 6 -8 mo.s out?

---

I will look into it and post a response here once i know more.

Quote:

---

If legendary makes the mod top matrial. would it be posible to have a convertible top made?
Would that be sweet or what!

---

WOW........... I suppose if you are willing to pay them to make a convertible top out of Mod Top material they would most likely make it.........
What car and color did you have in mind as a Mod Top convertible.

I would like to see the green/blue variety in shades of red/orange to match my 70 Rally Red Roard Runner. That would be cool.

Someone has been playing photoshop........
Good effort, looks pretty cool.

Hello,
Let me introduce myself - I am Dave Layson - owner of Layson's Restorations Inc. and I wanted to let you guys know that we are working on a new run of Mod-Top Materials in the Blue and Green colors. Currently we have only the yellow in stock and have had now enough interest for the "Blue / Green Floral" and the "Green / Gold Blue floral" to now make another limited run. We will also be making up some other goodies as well.

These runs will not occur until summer 2008 at earliest...may fall into Fall timezone depending on what all we have going on around here...days fly by like hours sometimes.

We are getting NEW original samples of the A-body floral design to make sure we correct any past slight flaws in design as well as verification that we get the color correct. I think we are still needing help for the B-Body green version however and if you can present that to your loyal fan club that we are looking for such - it may help everybody out.

We also have designs now done on the rear side glass "Mod Top" decals for the windows. We have them ready to go but are not sure on the colors they came in. Not sure if just one color or if they represented the color of the mod-top on the car and would then in effect be in (3) different options (Yellow, Green, and Blue)? We are open to ideas on this since we don't plan or can afford to do more than just one run of these decals.

Also - we would like to do the Mod-Top badges as well. We can do these in a small run as well but would need an original to tool from. Likely we would need the original for 6 months by the time you add in delays for samples and our production schedules. So again - if you have any member that has one off a car already and is willing to let us borrow one - we will supply his original back or cash compensation for it as well as a new reproduction.

Any other suggestions we would be glad to hear from you.

Thanks in advance

Dave Layson
Layson's Restorations Inc.

Good luck with any dealings you may have with SMS. Guy's I know have said it often takes up to a year to get things like door panels from them..
