Great work Ken. The major items I see as a need for convertible owners is the rear wheel caps, the rear wheel inner/outer housings and the front corner sections of convertible top. It would be great to see those pieces being redone.

Yes, Totally agree. There are so few people that need them that it would be alarge investment for the return. I have real good luck repairing them and you can't tell when I am done. Right know I have one set of NOS inner and outer tubes left. Repro's just don't cut if want it to turn out nice. I agree with the convertible tops also. I have had good luck finding nice originals. The problem is just have to be willing to pay up for them. All nice things cost money. This is why I just bite the bullet and make the repair correctly.

Thanks for the interest in ebody convertible conversions. Check out my website which is still under construction. We presently have 13 ebodies conversions completed. We make (USA) over 75% of parts for the convertible cars. I will PM you guys tonight to explain this process to you. You have three different choices of the way you want it done depending on your budget. As for a video, I presently offer technical assistance with this process depending on what part of the project you want to tackle. There are many complex steps involved in doing it right. I have pictures and video depending on your needs.

Here's another picture with OE trim on the reproduced lip. This quarter panel started out as 72 NOS hardtop qaurter. There was no welding during the process of making the factory lip.

looks interesting, I was reading through your thread. Can you tell me which parts you do not have for the conversion process? These are the parts that will have to be found from a doner car. Thanks nice work and dedication.

Hi,
Thank-you for the compliment. I currently have 3 ebody convertible kits in stock and build 75% of all the parts needed to make a kit. I also sell indivdual pieces for the kits for those who want to replace a rusty part. Check out my web. All the piece are not on the web but will be shortly.

Pieces that I can not make are:
Top Mechanism
Windshield frame
Top support bracket by quarter glass
Wheel caps

Check out support bracket below - The brand new one is bare metal.
