Oh that looks so good and so right. I like how it fits the top frame seals too. Those are the details that can make or break a conversion like this. Great job. Cool

That is the single biggest reason they were made. This "detail" - modifying a T14 convertible frame, making it wider and taller to fit the T34 and then having special made, tempered glass will be the two biggest factors why copies like these wont be built again. By far the most tedious parts to all this. I cant wait to pick mine up from Pedro. Cool Then build my doors. Dancing

We did a quick day trip to San Diego yesterday and stopped by to see the cabrio. Really great work all around. The custom door glass is incredible. Lots of cool details. Good to see you Pedro! You're really raising the bar with this one!

The top is really impressive in person. Congrats on getting it finished, Pedro. The details are very, very nice. I still don't believe you're done, no matter what your shirt says. Laughing

The top feels very nice...Yes...I touched it. Laughing

The finish quality and lining is first-rate, just as VW did back in the day, maybe better.

Yes, very well deserved. It's good to see all of your hard work and planning be shown to the world in a magazine (for those who aren't on the Samba). Cool
