I do like the final appearance of the front roof line by adding this part. It gives the top look of a much cleaner install similar to factory convertible tops. I might be interested in one as a purely aesthetic value.

I have worked with fiberglass in the past and I can see you have put a lot of work into the tooling alone. Good job there Rob.

So whatever happened with this? Was it a single run that has run it's course? Are they still available? Will there be more?

Well here's the low down. I had a guy building them but he insisted on building ten minimum for him to make it worth his while. But if there was interest in less I could approach him on the cost . That simple ! The parts were selling for $260.00 each which was a good deal. I have two and am using one to build a chalet top, But I guess that's were they petered out . There were only about 30 sold maybe 15 sold to US mainly Texas and Caifornia and the rest In Canada.

I'd be interested in one, but probably not until early next year. Right now I have so many parts spread out all over the place while my project is under construction. It's amazing how much more space one of these trucks takes up in pieces than together.

It's a great product, you can tell Rob has done his homework on it. Once mine is on I'll post some pics.

interested if you do another production batch

Re: Softop installation no Holes
 
Thank mtully for the kind words. I hope you really get the desired affect of your header as it was intended to be a hidden installation giving way to the original design of the Blazer with softop installation. That's the way I approached the install on mine and I'm certain they will get even better as each install passes . I hope I can get some more made for the members as it can possibly make these trucks truly non dependent on the hard top . Still working on the side window but lots of politics going on with this development and not sure of the next step. Anyway good luck and always looking forward to new pics of our Blazer babes

I NEED one of these. Please let me know (PM or email)when you do another run. I don't get to check in that much.

I'd be in for one also if you make another batch. Sounds like there is plenty of demand.

I'd love to get one. My Dad's is finally getting the body work it needs. It would be great to get him one of these before he drills for new snaps.

Thanks,

I'm getting close to ready to run another batch of headers. The mold has been redone and just looking to put on new base on the bottom side. Then ready to go. Posted valentines Day 2015
