Show us your Ragtop!

I searched and didn't come up with anything.

If you've got a cabrio, show it off! We need a place to compile all of our ragtops in one place so that we can see how all the different mods look when topless.

Nice stripes! We don't already have a thread for this do we? I assumed we did but couldn't find anything.

Heres mine:


I've got new stripes on the way too. P.S. I like your badge.

Hey, CR&PW&JB -- what's with the old "pre-mod" picture?

by the way, have you decided if you'll keep the boot de-badged?

Well, the only mods since this pic are the bonnet stripes and the red mirror caps. And since it rained and has been cloudy EVERY day since I completed those, I don't have any good pics of those yet. :impatient

I work tomorrow. But if Sunday is a nice day, I plan on taking some new pics. I'll post a new one on this thread then. Deal ?

And I have plans for the boot... it won't stay nekkid much longer.

Hey Paul, since that picture I've put a UJ decal on the gas filler door. I'll have to get a picture tomorrow. I've got a car show I'm going to.
You really need to get out here for next year's MITM. I know it would be a long drive, but worth it I think.

I'm coming - done deal - plan is that I'll drive out and back solo (will probably convoy with some other folks from NC one way or the other) - then have the family fly into and out of Denver - and we'll make a week of it out there and go to the Four Corner area while we're there... I'll need to get a trailer by then to deal with baggage... (oooooo... just had an idea.... rent a U-haul sport trailer in Denver if I can find one.... yeah...)
