Rag tops

[Akir-ra]

I've seen several decent looking electric and manual folding regtops on West Coast cars(not any z's though) and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this..Has anyone else seen these, and has anyone seen any on a z ? I'm considering this mod for my 74 but don't want to ruin the integrity of the unibody frame..

Well, there are kits available to make a Z a convertible, but most now only offer a removable hardtop usually made out of fiberglass. I have read about manual folding tops being used but I think they were modified Triumph or MG tops.

Most kits come with reinforcement for the chassis and/or a roll bar too.

Take a look at www.reactionresearch.com and then click on automobiles then look for the Z Spyder. Not a bad kit, but no folding top.

There are a couple other places that advertise a convertible kit but not sure their URL's. ZTherapy also has a video on how to do it yourself with a video about making a folding top I believe.
