I'm not getting much from the fabricaton board, so i'll post here too since it is related to appearance as well: What do you think?

I recently put a custom sub box in the hatch area of my car. I had to build brackets ontop of the sub box for my T-tops to rest on so they didn't hit any of the components mounted ontop of the box. I decided I don't like the box, so i'm ripping it out and building another one with new stereo components. Here's where the fabrication comes in:

I don't want the T-tops to get in the way of, or block the view of any of my stereo components. I am taking the back seats and carpets out this summer for some preventative maintanence(and leaving the back seats out) and was wondering if, at the same time, I could weld in some brackets so that the T-top bag, instead of mounting from that hump, to the back of the hatch, mounts from the hump foward towards the front seats at a slope a bit shallower than the side of that hump so that the tops don't touch it and vibrate against it.

I'm sure that others have thought of doing this. Are there any success/failure stories, or reasons for not doing this that I can't see. How do you think it will look?

 

ive never heard of anyone doing anything like that , but try it and be the first .

 

would be an intersting thing to do, maybe even fab up support rails and have the tops latch into place like they do in the roof
