[Healeys] Factory Hard Top!

[Michael Hartfield]

A cradle made from nylon webbing, hung from the garage ceiling, using a
small block and tackle arrangement to lift it.  Stored in the air it is off
the floor, away from scratches and bumps and takes no room.

> Just got my hard top back from being restored. The purists can vent now
> since I had it painted black to go with my Colorado Red over Black paint
> job. Knowing this is to last forever, I had the headlining done in a black
> textured vinyl.

> The problem I have is in getting in and out. When I had my bugeye I had no
> trouble getting in and out when the hard top was on. But that was 45 years
> and 30 lbs ago. But I was also two inches taller than.
> 
> While I have figured out how to do it, when I do get in, my 5'7" is about 2
> inches from the headliner.
> 
> What do six footers do to get in and out, and how do they fit in?
> 
> Someone told my that Donald Healey was 5'6" and than might explain why he
> had a special coupe made for him rather than a hard top.
> 
> I have an idea of how to store it, but I wonder how other folks who have
> hard tops store theirs.
