ok, if any of you out there are like me, you have t-tops, and the bag has aged and well, doesnt do its job any more. im making a 4th gen-style t-top holder for my trunk. im in the early stages so i can still take pics of the process, but before i do take pics and write instructions, would anyone actually be interested in this kind of project?

This has come up before and I know that a lot of ppl would love to have this done. Do the article and post pics. You would be doing us a favor. If you can do it well, you *might* be able to sell some.

alright ill do it, it already has 2 slots on a base that sits on the floor snugly. im thinking that ill make another board that lays on the middle of the trunk area (on that shelf type thing halfway up the side) that is contoured to the ttop curve. then i might make a strap system that hooks onto where the bag normally connects (near the rear seat). if it turns out ok ill probably make a geocities site on it or something, unless this site wants the article.

im also carpeting the entire thing so it doesnt look too hick engineered.

bubbakutz

hey, if you make one, and it looks good, then i'd be willing to buy one, my t-top bag looks pretty bad, you could probably make some money off of that lol, or just sell your plans on making one, that'd be even better , its been wet to my knowledge and it caused it to mold up, so i just threw it out lol, good luck

hmmm, seems i dont know how to upload pics from my computer..... how do i go about doing that?

when you reply to a topic below the gray options you will see a button that says browse. Click that button, find the picture where it is located on your computer, select the picture, click open. Then click the submit reply button and it should work!

Make sure the pics are gif jpg png txt zip bmp jpeg file types then at the ontop of the Submit reply button there is a section that says attachment, click on browse and click onto your picture you want to up load. Make sure the pic isnt oversized something like 500 x 600 pixels are perfect for us dial up users, and a pic must be less than 102400 bytes in size.

BigMike1610

here is it sitting on the floor, its just the base, so it isnt much yet

BigMike1610

sorry, the pic is too large, ill work on it

bubbakutz

please hurry man....im dying to see how this thing is lookin

87z28camaro

hey, if you can't get the picture on here, u can send it to my email account (josh_bigler@hotmail.com) and i'd more than happy to post it for you on the thread.. cause if it's to big for you to put on here, i can format it for you,

badandy247

I would be interested in seeing this as well mostly because the bag is a PITA and dosen't work the way it should anymore

BigMike1610

ok, i sent you a few 87z28camaro

87z28camaro

have you sent them yet?

BigMike1610

yes

87z28camaro

sorry it took so long bigmike, i've been outta town, but heres bigmikes picture , i think its a good idea what he is doing, and i believe it'd look great in the long run

bubbakutz

good idea.....but do they rattle together in that?

85SportCoupeto89RS

Looks ok so far.Eventually I'm going to the j/y to get me a set of t's to make a rack for a future t'top IROC I plan on buying.

BigMike1610

alright, ill explain this better. that is just the base that he put up there. im making a curved board that sits on the next level half way up that will secure it from the other direction. then ill work out the other small details. i might eventually make it outta fiberglass also(depends on if i can find out how). i might get some foam pads that can space the ttops also that can just be stored in the side box back there.

hope that helps some more.

maybe a system of rope type things, depending on how it owrks out and if it needs to be more secure. this will prolly take me a while to do, so ill try and keep you guys/gals posted. i have other stuff im working on on the TA also, so i cant devote all my time to this project. did i mention im only 17 and im easily distracted? lol that should also help explain things.
