PM me the price. Interested in buying one. I like your hinge better than the 'skull splitter' hinges that I've seen. Great work. Does it use the same type of weatherstrip that bus safari's use?

My first safari was had them "skull splitter types" lol and I didn’t like the fact it wouldn’t open all the way. plus it looked weird with the glass sitting above the roof line. I have driven my car down the freeway at 60mph with the safari wide open for miles. couldn’t even get over 40 with the other one. this is way i started making my own.


PM sent


both my safaris

His work is top notch.

Also...
Every time I have seen one of his cars I don't think the safari has ever been closed...
Cool
