Here's my new concept guys.....needs road testing, very happy so far. my Z is very close to be back on the road again!

Still don't have my workshop back, so i'm finishing up what i started a few months back and keeping you guys in the loop.

Go to my FB page to check out the latest - mikeduckering. (not sure if i'm allowed to do that) :(

Interesting idea I would have to see the finished product to fully decide how I feel about it though. I would still love a set of you cf t-tops those came out amazing.

Ill be back into producing the T-Tops in the upcoming months, I still need to produce the mould's for the two seater also.
As soon as I have my own place again its game on!

here's the one piece cowl too, its just washed down with water to remove release agent when i took the pictures.

Just had to sign in tonight to say that the one piece cowl looks amazing, I really hope that thing's affordable because I'd LOVE to have one!
The targa idea is very interesting as well, but I doubt I ever go that far.
I also liked the t-tops so I'll keep watching to see how those come out...and maybe even get to see them in person if Chris gets some! :chuckle:

The one peice cowling is pretty cool. Was considering the possibility of something like that to give mine a clean look.

It would be superb if you would adapt one of these for use with a convertible. My top, along with pretty much every other one I have seen is either broken, or pieced back together on the rear. A "targa" that would fit in the boot would be a boon for us....

That targa top is awesome. Reminds me of the supra. I would love to do something like that even in metal so it looks like a hard top with no breaks. Do you know yet how structural the car is without it? My car does a lot of flexing (noticeable in cold weather driving in mornings I hear all the doors, seals and windows make cracking noises) and I could only assume removing the upper bar between the T-tops takes even more strength away.
