Looking good James, how's the color match? It's tough to tell in that picture.

All weatherstripping, hardware and plexi originally sold by Parrish are still available through Smoothline, as well as options that were not available when we purchased ours in the early 80s:

Wish the same were true for the porthole top on our '70 SRL.

Yeah! Is it another Texan roadster?

I rigged up the hardware to mount the rear of the top today and tightened her down. Woohoo!

I ordered all new weatherstrip from Smoothline and a new rear plexi window. It was not cheap! The only problem is the window is not even CLOSE to fitting. Going to need some cutting and shaving to get it in.

There is a blue high screen with a black Parrish top. Can someone find this link? I can't find it.

Hi downunder, yep a group buy would be great. I spoke to smootline and they do a special clubs rate of $1089. We'd have to freight from Pitssburgh to LA ($250) and then onto a boat. Shared container price I got was about $250.

They come in primer so you still need to paint. I know someone in SA who may want one. Are you interested in a group buy?
