My signature has a not so good look at the hardtop. I found mine within 30 miles of my house last year.

I have mine on now. It gives it a very different look. When I drive it with the hardtop on, some people think I have bought another car.

It seems to give it a tighter ride.

Eventually, I'd like to get mine recovered in black vinyl. Bubba stripped it off and had it painted the same color as he repainted the car. The only problem is that it was obivously painted with a different lot than the rest of the car. So it is about 3 shades darker. It looks like AZZ on the car.

Hey Paul, love that pic. :cool: I guess it's just something about me loving to go out for a burger, fries and a Coke in the vette. It doesn't get much more american than that.

Dalannex, that pic is from the "original" Burger King in Matoon, IL near where we stayed for the '99 MidAmerica Corvette Funfest. The "Burger King" chain tried unsuccessfully to sue that original owner to get him to change his resturant's name. He won, Burger King(chain)lost. :yesnod:

Here are 2 older photos of my 68 Vette, the day when I got the car back from the paint job (before re-doing the engine compartment and interior and before installing my sidepipes). I haven't used the hardtop since then.

I have some pictures of my '68 with the convertible hardtop. Click on my website in the signature, then click on the 'My New 68 Corvette' there are three or four pictures there.

Those hardtops look so cool. It makes the car look totally different. IMO, it the Z06 resembles this chop back look...
