FWB,
I knew as much that there was not going to be any manufacturer for Soft tops for me. I've been busy tonight doing more research on this topic.
I'm very afraid Vern's "West Coast Dreams" are history. i.e. he may be out of business. and that is a crying shame. As far as it goes, I paid for the parts I got. I'm using just about 1/2 of the "kit". The fuel tank was crap, the steering column was trash, the steering wheel was all scratched up and old. I'm using an Ididit chrome straight column and a new wheel. The electrical system is "ISIS" if your interested check it out.

I'm getting the body work done this week and I picked out paint. I'll assemble the body on the frame in a few weeks and then get the whole thing back for final paint after the new year. After doing the research on Kellison and the Stallion plus other cars Kellison designed, I have a lot more respect for the kit that I have. I knew all along Vern did not design this. He just replaced components with cheaper versions. The major components are all still very good. The frame etc.. You just need to go over all of it down to the last square inch to make it right. I just wish I could find the soft top. I will probably have to make one.
I found a Kellison web page which features some information about his cars and kits which have been restored. I'm hoping someone can help me find a contact who can dig up a pattern for the soft top. I get the impression this is going to be no less than a quest.
Thanks for your insight and input. I would be greatful for dimensions which I could ultimatley use for a pattern if it comes to that.
Thanks,
Xack
