Here some fresh pictures of one of Mr.Bruce hardtops with a hatch. I drove up to Pittsburgh to pick it up. I didn't take any pictures of hatch. More to come as I am finish it.

Gel coat and fiberglass are excellent quality. He built up the rear bottom to fit ff5 cobra's. I plan to trim it down a bit more for a sleeker look since my roll bar isn't as high.

I had also planned on making my own but Mr.Bruce is a fiberglass guru. You can't go wrong with either of the tops he makes. I did see the dragon snake top while there this past weekend. Very cool but no pictures.





If you have a very tall roll bar he can set you up with a "Dan Gurney" bubble if you need it.

Check with Tony Chiles. He makes a great looking hardtop. He is over on the other forum, but his email is: t06chiles@bellsouth.net. Tell him that Russ gave you his name.

Good Luck.

You never mentioned what cobra you needed a hardtop for.
West Coast, Backdraft, and Superformance make their own and A.P. E. makes one for FFR.

Most hard tops will not interchange from one cobra to another and it would have been nice to have the top from the very beginning of a build as the windshield angle now set, can position the top in the wrong location.
