That one looks great. What have you done with your suspension? Front is lowered? What sizw of tires do you have? 165/80s?
I also thought, that ruby red is a common color. Here is mine.

The front end has an adjustable beam and is lowered about 1 1/2" (38mm). The rear suspension is still at stock height. I'm using standard oil-filled shocks all around and the fronts don't bottom out.
Yes, tires are 165/80s and they never rub, even at full lock.
Another view:
Your Ruby Red ragtop looks great too! I've never seen drip rail moldings like that.

No idea where its from, it was mounted to the car when I bought it 8 years ago. Its a kind of u-shaped plastic, thats plugged onto the drip rail, and fixed with metal clamps at the ends. Not that nice at a close look. Thats why I removed it later. Unfortunately I do not have any close-up view of it. |

I also thought Ruby Red was a common colour this is my Ruby red 63 Cabriolet busy putting new floor pans in. I'm not sure what colour to repaint her after some Muppet made botched repairs on her and painted the poor old girl Silver.
