no one makes one for sale, I have never seen one actually.



Building one is a huge undertaking, over the years many have said the same thing but we never hear from them ever again, lol.

I repaired a top for a newer vette, the guy paid $5000 for the top, its a aftermarket piece that someone makes in thier garage.

if the cars were newer and still being sold maybe somone might make one, but the other problem is how to mount it to the car, its just not that easy on a FC.



even if someone did make it they would have to get a ton of money to offer them for sale to get thier time back, just to have some douche like shine pop a mold off thier hard work and sell it for nothing because they had no R&D time in the project.
