For those not in-the-know, these racing tops do not have any mounting hardware included with them, each race builder fabricates there own mounting system. They also do not come with any seals or weatherstripping and are designed to be used without windows. They usually mount directly to the roll cage, which is also required by the racing rules. In short, this top is for racing, not for street use.
Cool Photo Album idkfa! I've considered a streetable version and have looked at smoothlines but just never got there. I wondered if the weather striping and hardware were added and how does this one look. Some of the pictures on the album suggest it was done to them. I kinda forgot about this thread. I will email him, thanks.
I don't think adding weather striping to the GM top would be easy (have been thinking about this for years) and most 'mounting systems' consist of drilling them into the car. I have a few spare soft tops for parts and an aluminum honeycomb prototype I was working on years ago but just ended up buying the Smoothline. While the proportions are close, I still think the GM top looks better around the double-bubble and the rear buttresses.
