69 -72 Blazer Half Top production thoughts?
I am in the process of getting all the plans and information on one of the original manufactures of the half top. I have the mold to try them. I am waiting for the plans for the steel reinforcments and technical information.I am wondering how interested people would be in getting one. We would need further information on production cost and firm up a selling price. I am looking for feedback about the idea. Thanks

Re: 69 -72 Blazer Half Tops
I think that you would have a big market for them...
Be even cooler if you could combine it with a hinged hard tonneau cover too...

Re: 69 -72 Blazer Half Tops
i'm gonna move this to the blazer section for more coverage... I also updated the title... Just be sure that before you start taking orders or running the business that you check out our vendor sales accounts, they give you a lot more privelages and ad options...

Re: 69 -72 Blazer Half Tops
Thanks, I am hoping to get the manuals by next week. I am hoping we can make them at a reasonable cost. We also have the 73 - 76 tops. I will keep everyone updated if we can get it going.

Re: 69 -72 Blazer Half Top production thoughts?
I have a buddy who has a factory half top and bulkhead, I think he would let me take measurements if needed..
Looking forward to seeing where this goes..

Re: 69 -72 Blazer Half Top production thoughts?
There has been at least two companies in recent years that have tried manufacturing half tops. One called Compudyne (out of business) and http://www.myrodshop.com/blazer.html or http://sexyhalftop.com/.
I have not read about a single board member who has purchased either tops. I think they are/where selling around $1000, but I have never looked into them.

Re: 69 -72 Blazer Half Top production thoughts?
I think if you can price them below/near the soft top cost - you might do well since nobody likes to drill holes into their rigs if they can avoid it.
