Because this ain't no submarine.

I'm "hacking" up a cheap-ass hardtop, not the car. I still have my soft-top in original condition. The car itself is also in original conidition, except the front springs, but omg, I have another set.


Ant, it's a '69 Datsun Roadster.

The hard top is the cool thing about the car. Soft top sucks, lolol. That hard top is it's personality, I think. I know it's your car and all, but damn, lolol. But as long as you don't do anything to the car itself. Especially carbon fiber (unless you paint it so you can't tell it's CF). But you have to do what you want to do. Just like that full body CF Civic people have posted to me. I hate that car. Later, QD.

I totally agree with you, I just have an image in my head; old school car with some modern time flavor, I guess. As far as the carbon hard-top, I'd get it smooth where as there's no texture...

I forget what they call that (when you restore an old car with modern flavor). Probably because I think it's ugly. But again, and please remember, that's MY opinion. Good luck with the project and keep us updated. Later, QD.

Resto-mod?
I think.
I don't know, some cars I like resto-mod and some I like all original. I don't think I'll be so far from original on this car that it would be hard to go back.
