I can't keep my top off to enjoy the awesome weather here in TX. I work for the railroad in a chemical plant! Wouldn't be so bad, but I work graveyards..all the dew and moisture brings all the chemical back to earth and on my bronco I have to clear my windshield every other day because the crud. I DON'T want that crap on my seats and dash, etc. I was thinking about making a fastback soft top, but I don't know what to use, or where to get something that wide.

hey JIMS89BRONCO,
ive done some measuring and a tarp thats about 6x6.5' should do the trick for a homemade soft top. ive been curious if anyone else has attempted this. i think ill post that topic.

Here's my topless beauty

I've got more pictures (from different angles) if anyone wants to see them. This is the second summer I've taken it off, I myself am contemplating some kind of custom soft top. Coming up with an idea that wont look retarded is proving challenging

ur right siphor84 , it seems like making a custom softtop would be simple geometry, but everytime i attempt an idea i end up feeling like a monkey.

you would think that a "Fast back" style would be easy to make. My question is how to get a friggin window in there(without it leaking/and without a sewing machine)

I don't worry about my back seat...heck it's laying in the garage anyway. I'm going to have to try some things and see what happens.
