Lefty · March 16th, 2009, 12:08 PM

Love the rear cover man!

JoshC! · March 16th, 2009, 02:52 PM

very nice

DiablosZ400 · March 17th, 2009, 09:49 AM

thanks guys.

lefty I picked the covers up a while back from a swap meet I went to, Cervinis was setup at the meet and had them going really cheep! I'm also in the process of making some new seat belt guides hence the reason why my one seat is missing a headrest.

Lefty · March 17th, 2009, 10:07 AM

^Nice grab! Car Shows FTW!

thorpedo26 · March 17th, 2009, 01:17 PM

nice car diablo hahaha

DiablosZ400 · March 17th, 2009, 06:40 PM

thanks Thorpedo.

now being that this is a vert thread I thought this would be appropriate, my followup on the seat belt guides that I made (for anyone with a styling bar would know that the stock guides need to be modified to play safe) I just chose to make some from scratch. Not sure if im going to paint them black leaving the engraving alone or, leave them the alum. look with a little more elbow grease.

Lefty · March 17th, 2009, 06:53 PM

^Wow, those are nice

ssmustang88 · March 18th, 2009, 10:26 AM

You know if you gor those 00.. you had better get another set for me

ssmustang88 · March 18th, 2009, 10:31 AM

Hey 00-vert I priced my top... wow the top alone is $750 from my "friiend" yet I can find the same top err more of a top for a bit less shopping online I think he's goonna help me install my own instead of getting it through him. oh and btw it's Black. they dont offfer white in cloth only vinyl and I figure with our weather its probably better since vinyl likes to stretch and shrink.

You shall make me two of these. That is not a request, that is an order. Now go and strt working. Chop chop!!!

ssmustang, have you tried looking at Mustangs Unlimited? They have reproduction OEM style tops starting at $350 I beleive.

Lefty · March 18th, 2009, 04:55 PM

^Their website is confusing as shit

They don't really have anything listed on line

M.P. Cobra Fan · March 18th, 2009, 05:13 PM

You are right about that. I hate their website. I always use the catalog. I had to go gt mine out of the shitter, best place to read it. But the part number for the convertible top for a 99-04 Mustang in black is C166BLK it comes with the rear glass curtain and costs $299.98. If you want defrost the part number is C166BLKD and costs $349.88. You can save over $100 if you do not need the glass curtain. The cost for one without the curtain is $159.95 and te part number is T166BLK.

DiablosZ400 · March 19th, 2009, 11:49 PM

well ill be taking orders at a price of ohh I dont know say 300000000000

, no seriously, right now it will be hard for me to produce these being that I did the cnc'ing at my college on my spring break (

only time where I had the time to stand there for two hours while they were being milled out) but possibly in the future? Heres the completed project, kept the alum. look to make them stand out a bit more. The last picture shows the clearence with the styling bar...I had a original design that made the bars angle and the guides angle parallel but it made the design not flow as significantly as it does with my updated design.

Lefty · March 20th, 2009, 12:01 AM

^That looks good man. Great job!

BLK01SS · March 20th, 2009, 12:19 AM

Thats freakin pimp man. I want some of those. Hell I might make my own like you did lol.

DiablosZ400 · March 20th, 2009, 12:48 AM

Defiantly man go for it if you have access to a cnc, now if you were going to try and make it with a band saw or something yea.......

let me know how that works out for you haha

It only took me about a week or two to come up with a design and another two weeks to have some prototypes and tweaking
