Steve,
I’m using a Mercedes R107 as the base body for the cockpit, interior door shells, jambs, and top mechanism. That gives me a functioning convertible top with everything matching and complimenting each other and will look factory. The top will be redone to match the curve of the windshield, however. The front and rear suspension will be torsion bar like the rear car with our beloved Mopars donating parts for that. Oh, did I mention the Cuda front end wasn’t included with the car?
Cheers
Dave
