Back in 83 I bought a 65 Lemans convertible, but the top was ripped to shreds. I bought a new one out of the Sears catalog for about $150. I ended up selling the car to someone else before I ever tackled the top, as I realized the project was way beyond my capabilities. Amazing that you could get nearly everything at Sears back then.
how are they assembled differently? and is there a video so I can see? and is the newer version's better at NVH or keeping the weather out or lasting longer? im here for thee trans tunnel ( tr6060 swap in a dodge like that GTX ) but they really didn't show it
I only had one "RagTop" my entire life... It was nice on warm sunny days... Cold, damp weather,not so much... When it started leaking... It was time for it to become someone else's headache!!! I wouldn't have a rag-top now if it was given to me!!!
I've never liked convertibles and watching the "black magic" that is adjusting the top just makes me hate 'em more. Nice cars, tho. Absolutely love that year of Comet with a hot engine.....brother had one.
I'd say everyone is impressed by someone who can do a convertible top!

this guy is no joke ! he is a master top convertible .Very well done!
Thats one beautiful 67 Plymouth GTX and that 440 Magnum V8 is a beast.
That top install was pro level for sure. I have done a bmw top on a modern car, but in reality a lot easier than these classic tops.

The modern convertibles are as quiet and leak free as a hardtop. But I'm with you on never having to fix it, just buy another new one!!
Boy I like to have a shop were you got everything you need no problems
thanks everyone for a awesome how to build a convertible top and everything else on muscle car
so the head differents between a 440 and a 440-hemi is about 500to1k RPM interesting wonder what computer EFI would do to the RPM band
Nothing like sheet metal work and the peroxide on the slices you'll get
Use acetone to spice em up even more!
what progress on the Comet?
iLove PowerNation videos goob job...

Nice 👍🏼
what gage of sheet metal are they using?
18
And staple, staple, staple, staple ..... LMFAO 🤣
i liked the 1966 Mercury Comet GT body style over the 1964 Mercury Comet GT...but good build nonetheless!

Well I can now add "replacing a convertible top" to the long list of things I will say nope to.

Wish you would stay on topic instead of jumping around to all those irrelevant projects
That car just gets uglier as time goes on !
Stupid god damn convertibles should all be crushed
