hello, new member here.
would like to show the progress made on my C5 removeable hardtop.
was not very happy with the quality pricing and wait of the avalible top on the market so I made the decision to build a better one. Its going to use the same footprint as the factory softtop but have the same dementions and rear window fit as a FRC top.

Factory glass FRC rear windows will work with my tops, also having a local company that makes airplane windows make them of acrylic.








factory roof latches in the pictures but am having aftermarket latches made at a machine shop.
