1986 Glass tops

[John D.]

Anyone know of a supplier for a glass top that has the ability stamp in the proper codes (name/date) on the center rear. In other words I am looking for a reproduction which would pass NCRS judging. Any thoughts or comments would be welcome.

Thanks

John:

To answer your question. I don't know of anyone. I'm not up on the C4 judging, but wouldn't an original top out of another car pass, only with a slight deduction for the wrong code ?? Also, was your car a C2L two top car, or one ?? If it was a C2L car, do they judge those with both tops or just one? Seems like we talked about this once, but I forgot the answer.

Tom,

Yes the car is a two top car and for judging only the top on the car is judged. Using matrix judging I would potentially lose points for the date if it was an OEM top.

I have both tops, unfortunately, I took it out of my heated garage a few days ago to prep it for winter storage went down the road about a mile and "crack" the top split.

I'd like to see if I can find a correct one to replace it. The car has already top flighted and I am trying to keep it as original as possible. I guess I could always present it with the crack and take the condition point deduction.

Thanks for your thoughts.
