Yes and Paul did a hell of a job with it. There is also a company (sorry I don't know the name) who makes a 63SWC Coupe top that you can paint to the color of your car and turn your roadster into a coupe. To me, OK from about 30ft. away but I would think that you could not open the deck lid while the top was on the car (I don't know for sure)but yes the one Paul built was outstanding.

Hmmm.....I think that there is money to be made if the company did a little bit of marketing! Great concept/idea.

I think this may be the top Mike Terry is referring to?

A bit back there was a TV Show that did a Corvette conversion from convertible to a 63 split window. It was FantomWorks. They did a car for a wedding. Pretty cool looking. The SWC is one that is a great car that will always be the one to have.

Interesting, and a lot of work went into that. But I'll pass, thanks.

It would look a little better if the weather strip was color coordinated.

The FantomWorks car was at SEMA and looked really nice....but it had no weatherstrip...
looked nice but I think it would scratch the car in real world driving and leak for sure
