Alvin=E2=80=A6 thanks.  I guess I should have searched 311s first.  From =
your link I found some others about the hardtops.  Thanks also for all =
the pics you post.  Always an encouragement.

Hi Dan,

It was over 10 years ago, but there is a build thread here:  =
https://www.311s.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3D3 =
<https://www.311s.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3D3&t=3D7220&start=3D60> =
&t=3D7220&start=3D60

It is a Thompson Fiberglass Products hardtop, nothing custom, windows =
and profile all standard.
