Speedster/Roadster toneau?

I have seen them in a couple pics, and heard of people w/ them, but I have never been able to find any info. Anyone know of where I could get a hold of one? Even just some pics or something to go by?

I used-to work at a marina, and I can work with fiberglass very well, so I may just build one, but avoiding the hassel would be great.

thanks for any info,

later, justin...

I've heard all sorts of things about "stronger gears" and all that, from any number of sources. Thing is, I've got a shelf full of T-5s with wasted cases, that EAT any gears I can put in them. Because it's not the GEARS that are the root cause of failure, it's THE CASE. Until you strengthen the CASE, you could put in gears forged in the fiery furnaces of Hell by 10,000-year-old gnomes from an alloy of purest virgin nonobtanium with just enough irreplacium added to make them one-of-a-kind, and the case will STILL stretch and allow those gears to misalign and they'll tear up. Frankly I wouldn't spend another dime on trying to make a T-5 survive behind some power. Oh wait.... I don't have to, I finally woke up and got a clue and swapped in something else; specifically, a T-56

- If you can't afford to do it right the first time, can you afford to do it again?
