I'd be interested in seeing this, both the look and the functionality. Glenn

On the top.... Why don't you just use the one that was cut off with a few minor changes to it so it will mat up to the windshild header? Like the Miata's have? a removeable hardtop. Oh and how are you going about making the header cover plate? Maybe incorporate some latches into it? ------------------

To do that would be very difficult. Even if you could make a top out of the cut-off, you would have to address the method of attaching it to the body. It would need to seal good, be convienent to take on & off, matchup with the side windows & not blow off (and become a frisbee) at 100 mph driving into a 40 mph wind. Then you'd have to find someone that would be willing to pay the costs it would take to develope. Archie

Today We didn't get a lot of work done on the PFF Spyder, BUT we did get a chance to play with the Foam a little. Take a little of Part "A" & a little part "B" & We are going to mix these two together & stir. Yes those are 2 McDonalds ice cream cups, which are the official measuring cups of V-8 Archie.
 Pour them both into a coffee can & stir with a little paddle thing we made for the electric drill. See it's starting to foam already....
 Here it comes.....
 
Total elapsed time from when the 2 cups were dumped into the coffee can 2 min. 43 sec. Archie

They also use stuff like that to insulate the fiberglass double-walled boat hulls and sleepers on semi cabs. I used 2 gallons of that stuff in a guys locker in a dorm room.
(He broke into my locker, stole a radio, broke it and refused to pay for it.) Needless to say, The day I left he had a big surprise when he got back from class. Just for trivia purposes, 2 gallons will fill a standard U.S. Navy dorm locker from top to bottom.

I seen a guy use the foam once for hsi kayaks bouyance and as I drove past I just knew it was worth going around the block a few times as I used the foam a lot in my fibreglass work. He poured in about as much as the area he needed to fill not realising it expands. Well it was worth watching. It was pouring out of the kayak and down onto the driveway when it started to expand and the guy was running around not knowing what to do. ------------------
