Soft Top from Rod Tops
Thought I'd share another soft top option if any of you are thinking of going this route. My dad and I are planning to do the Hot Rod Power Tour this year along with some longer trips and we wanted to have a soft top as a backup. In our opinion, we never liked the look of the snaps on the fiberglass and were looking for a cleaner finish. We toured the Factory Five plant a while back and saw their new roadster with a soft top from Rod Tops. Great quality and it didn't use any snaps, just a turnbuckle system to make the frame rigid (the pics should show how it works). I'm 6'2" and I have about 3" of headroom with the liner.
At any rate, Rod Tops needed to make a mold for the B&B shell to create a soft top, so my dad drove the Cobra to Michigan and they made a mold along with the top. We're very happy with the craftsmanship and they were great to work with. Now that they have a mold for B&B, you can just call them up and they'll make it for you. Of course, you get what you pay for and the top will be about twice as much as the B&B option - but, you'd have to call to get an exact quote.
