Fred,

Saw that. Aftermarket job and if they didn't do it right it'll make the
Roadster feel like a steel vault when hitting a bump.

As you know you just can't chop off the top w/o a lot of bracing as the roof
provides a lot of the strength to the structure. Unfortunately many
conversions were not done correctly and the cars, no matter what kind, are
basically useless as they flex like a thin piece of aluminum or a wet
noodle.

I'd stay away from it unless I could get up close and personal and drive it
too.

Mike
