Re: Superlite "Le Mans"
I just drive through the rain and dry the car out when you get home.

Been driving Cobras in all sorts of conditons for many years and if it starts raining you either just find some shelter and wait it out or you drive through it. Trying to rush to put a soft top on in the rain on the side of the road is not my idea of fun and often not worth it as you & the car interior are generally wet by the time it all gets fitted anyway.

Now putting the soft top on during the middle of the day to keep out the sweltering heat, now I can understand that and that would be a bonus.

All comes down to personal preference and I expect your climate. I could easily live without a top for day trips. For long distance, multiple day/week trips, then a top would be mandatory for myself.

Nice! It is similar in panels to the Superlite Coupe, but no roof for those that want open roof motoring.
Looks good to me.

Fran,

That looks great. I would like to see it at the shop when you have it finished, if you don't mind.

Re: Superlite "Le Mans"
Neat idea, maybe a raked back screen and a little more wrap to the side glass to close up the opening a little? Think Can-am windscreens low and pulled back to cover the drivers hands and steering wheel. I'm no Mike Moore when it comes to photoshop (hell he even made Fran's shop floor
