I just can't find the proper words to say about your labors.
Thank You for sharing the talent you have.

 

Crazy how many subtle details in everything, you sir are a true Craftsman

 

Fantastic stuff!

Boy, was I wrong!
When I first saw the title I thought “PFFFFTTT!” That can’t be much, sedan into a roadster?
Gotta be a hack job, right? But with a Duvall windshield?
But then Ryan’s post hit!

OH MY! Not only is your design work amazing, but your ability to turn your idea into metal art is nothing less than what we mere mortals even think about reaching.
It’s nothing less than supernatural.
Thank you for sharing your abilities with us!

 

Shifter is in stock location on the muncie. I'm going do an bench seat. There is just enough space, because the seat is going to be set as far back as possible. Shifter handle is going to be something like 55-57 chevy bench seat version.
I have to admit toploader t5 would have been much easier... Not too much of them in Finland, and zero for sale with the s10 tailshaft... And Muncie is Muncie


This type of bench seat could be possibility also :

 

Hello sir ! I did the top myself for chevy. Its done with steeltubing, canvas was made from few pieces, hold together with snap-on rivets and strips. It doesnt fold, just lift off.

Designing the form with tape:



Finished top with finished car :

Nothing less than what we mere mortals even think about reaching"
