[Roadsters] Alvin's Hardtop

[Dan Heinze]

Alvin… 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=3 <https://www.311s.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7220&start=60> &t=7220&start=60

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

Alvin… as I remember you once mentioned on this list that the folk at Z car garage did your roadster hardtop.  Do you have pics of the process or any details on what they did?

My 68 Solex Roadster is almost ready for paint and I would like to also update my port hole window hard top.

Are the side windows behind the door custom cutouts?  Looks like the top was built up around the rear window???  Any tips/info will be appreciated.

Recent work on my roadster includes full engine rebuild with all parts matched and balanced (85K original miles), NOS late model Solex (replaced the original old style Solex), Evans waterless coolant, new heater core – valve – cables, seats stripped to metal and rebuilt/reupholstered, all new interior carpet and panels…, new wheel bearings and suspension wear parts all around, new calipers and rear cylinders, new lines, new shoes/pads, new rotors, new comp front springs and sway bar, new fiberglass rear springs, new Bilstein adjustable shocks, chassis coated, body work done, etc.  Hope to get to painting soon….

Being in San Diego, I never use a top, but would like to make it look nice in case I ever do.

Thanks / Dan
