This is a unfinished project I shelved after the windshield pillar cracked. Needed to be soldered so it was a good model to back date to a bent window.
I opened the roof for a folding soft top
After enough failed attempts at making a soft top I was happy with I soldered back part of the roof for a normal sunroof
more body work, fitting front bumper, made early hood handle

Presumably the sunroof will open and close when you wind the tiny handle inside?
That's being silly:) I have a few mechanisms I like to try and make but would need to do it on a larger scale.

Thanks Peter!!! My whole plan for this car started with the urge to make a folded soft top... I under estimated how hard it would be to make the folds look right and match the shape of the roof. Barnett made a nice one and figured it would be no big problem... Oh well... on to plan B:) There are still some other neat period accessories or maybe some luggage I can make.
