Nope! Pedro let me know the night before it was time to cut the top off. He had the plan and never hesitated. I was much more nervous about it. _________________ '68 Lotus White T34 automatic sunroof

Another Reinforcement Day
3/16 Flat Bar all around the inside
And some Sheet Metal for Stiffness

Does this get some sort of wooden bow between the sheet metal and the 3/16th steel reinforcement? Just asking as I know some convertibles use a wooden "tack" strip in the lower part of the body to attach the roof. Or doesn't this use that? _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

Agreed, it does look good. It looks like a T-1 Ghia vert top frame. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

Here’s Interesting Too
Rear Seat Angle Cabrio vs Coupe are different Angle
Cabriolet Seats are Level Vs Coupes are On Angle
The Red Line is the Cabrio
Probably the reason because the Heater Conduct to give More room under
Or / And because the Center Reinforced Plate
So I had to Modified my Spare _________________ 68 T34 1600 Automatic
