Some people know I repro'ed the bubble tops (sold 11) and just sold the last one , I gave up making them any more. Now if down the road you see one it may be my repro. Thanks

Re: Bubble burst
Sorry to hear you're out of the bubble top business, Roy. I was even hoping you'd might have surprised us with a midyear adaptation one of these days.
Best of luck spending more of your time enjoying your cars. And keep posting those cool accessories!

PS - Stunning photo of your '55, by the way. -
Re: Bubble burst
Ya did a nice job on those Roy, I'm sure they are adding driving enjoyment to the owners who bought one.

Re: Bubble burst
Thanks the pic is from Vett Magazine article they did on my 55 , how about my car vacuum that's mounted to the front of the heater so I'll look good?
After market item of the 50's and works good! Works on engine vacuum like my cig. ash tray,P.B with original brakes, and oil eye!

Re: Bubble burst
Roy, in your pic of the top, it looks like there is some sort of small round item on a cord coming out of the back rightside latch and then through the top, like its attached to the top on the outside. What the heck is that?

Are you talking the rear latch like these?

Re: Bubble burst
Some people write and ask me why I drive it.
I'm a funatic when it comes to my 55 I don't wont any repro parts on or in it ( but for accessories) yes I had to use repro weatherstripping ,tires,paint and so on) but other wise a high 100% original .When I did a frame off restoring it a week later my wife and I drove across the country putting on over 10K miles just for the fun of it. (WHY?) Because I wonted a (NEW) looking real original 1955 Corvette. I feel why have it if I don't drive it!
I understand how others feel and what they do with their Corvette and that's great but this is me, I've met a few other owners that do the same (BUT FEW) . I've gotten way more satisfaction having people see and ask me about my 55 then I would ever get trailering it to a few Corvette meets.
I collect extra original parts ,and repair it as needed , it's insured for 150K, took a top flight in 05, so it's not JUNK,so your Corvette can be enjoyed and driven if that's what you wont , that's why I'm writing this and I've heard every comment as to why I should not drive it.
I know people that have bigger $$ cars that do the same thing and they really enjoy their cars like Mr. Mason in Carson City NV in his SR1 drives it any where, remember unless it's drove off a cliff they can be restored again .

If you don't drive them
and all you want to do is look at them you might as well have a poster of them ...Letting them sit does much more harm to them...JMOComment

Re: Bubble burst
Roy, Our Pittsburgh Chapter had a picnic recently and a lot of the members drove their Corvette to it.
There was a beautiful 55 Corvette there owned by Ken Amrick who is our clubs secretary and also the editor of SACC. I thought of you while looking over Kens car. You don't seem many 55's around here. In fact outside of Kens I don't know of another. JohnComment
