alright team, on this build i wanted to do something radical but something classic at the same time....well what i ended up doing was making a 64 2 door coupe into a retractable hard top...check this one out!!



















all i have to do is just make the hinge that makes the the roof move..thats next!

this car was never finished. maybe someday when i have a little extra time. The roof works just like a Real hardtop Retractable. i got the idea from a "Ford Skyliner retractable" the roof has a section cut out designed to fold under itself to help fit in trunk.. look at this picture of the real thing to see how i did it ..
