soft top

Tim;

This might seem kind of silly, but your local Viper dealer should be able to order one. I think they are a couple hundred bucks.

If the frame on your old top, and the other parts are all in fine working order, go to your local auto top upholstery shop. They will sew you a new fabric top and attatch it to your old frame. Good as new and less money. Look under autos in the yellow pages and check it out.

I would really like to develop an easy put-on soft top. It wouldn't be able to handle high speeds, but it would take alot less time to install. I am still brainstorming.

Sincerely,

Jim

I'm afraid Jim is off by a factor of 10 for a new soft top. Around $2500 from the dealer.

Jim,

What I really want someone to develop is a camlock 3-piece hardtop that you can store in the trunk. I've been brainstorming this one myself.

Dear Nitrous Dave;

I shoulda known when I said a couple hundred bucks I would be waaaay off. Ouch, I didn't know they were that pricey! The top is built extremely strong. But wow! I will treat mine with even more respect as I am getting wet during the ten minutes it takes me to put it on. OK, maybe it takes me fifteen minutes!

Thanks for the real price. Don't underestimate the auto top shops. They do some great work on the fabric end of things.

Jim,

The only reason I know the price is because I recently screwed mine up royally and was pricing them. I about choked when I found out how much the dealer wanted. They sure don't look like much do they. Even the piece parts are outrageous.
