You know I just had another thought,,,, Is your top going to be made in several pieces similar to the metal tops of old?
If the side peices could be made to bolt together, the top could be shipped knocked down, and assembled at the destination which would cut the shipping costs probably by 2/3's !
A 2x10ft pallet with everything attached on edge would be the way to go.
Shipping is the biggest issue in selling anything bulky like a body or top etc. It sometimes costs nearly as much as the product.
let me know about what your plans are on this. I can get a Rally top in LA which is 90 miles away, but I have to tell you I would rather have yours if we could figure out a reasonable cost and shipping.
From what I've heard this is the main problem GR8 tops is having with sales anywhere but the east coast. Shipping is killing them.
Let me knwo what you are doing with this. Email me direct,,,
