Can anyone help me? My friend had a set of red glass T-Tops on his '76 'vette twenty years ago and I'd like to find a set to swap in and out of my '70. He had the same color combination as I do. The red interior looks really hot with the red glass. I don't think these are available new anymore.

Thanks,
Kevin |cool|

p.s. Can anyone tell me how to reduce my picture size? |withstupid|

Hi Kevin,

Great looking '70...!!! |thumb|

I can't help with the T-Tops but I can offer some help on the image resizing. If you have Microsft Paint the magic reducer can be found on the 'Image' drop down called 'Stretch/Skew' (or command your way there with Ctrl+W key combo). By entering a number less than 100 in the 'Horizontal' and 'Vertical' boxes the image will be reduced toy that percentage of the original size (enter 50 in both boxes and the image will be reduced to half the size of the original). Entering numbers greater than 100 increase the size of the image.

That's the simplest tool I've found for resizing images.

Thanks for the info. Owen reduced it for me and sent it to me via e-mail. Maybe next time I can do it myself. Nice looking '70 yourself. I like your license plate as well. I just got a note from the RMV that my vanity plate is in. It reads "LS5 454". I can pick it up Dec 1st.

Thanks again.

Those are Plastic red tops. I have sold a set of them years ago. It was a company in Fla that made them. The name slips my mind right now. Check Ecklers.

Thanks Larry,

When I searched under "Plastic T-tops", I found a company in NY (Ameripol) who fabricates plastic T-tops. The gentlemen is going to see if his supplier has the right color and then he'll get back to me with the cost of making a set.

Thanks again.

This is an old thread, but I thought I'd let you know that there is a set of Red Tops on ebay right now!
