Default hard top ?

is there any possibility of getting a hard top for a 1990 5.0 convertable ? like were they ever made , and where could i find one ? or any other options ,, im really not a fan of any convertables at all but i pretty much got the car for free and im wondering if theres anything i can do about it .. i know theres hard tops for like miatas and some other convertables but i dont know much about mustangs yet , never really thought about getting one .

I have never seen one available for commercial sale. I seam to recall seeing a custom one before, but cant imagine it being a reasonable price if you tried to buy one or have something made.

If it was a solid peice it would be a pain to get of as well. Before I got my pulley system setup for my Bronco I almost never took the top off.

well one of my quarter windows quit working so i started taking stuff apart to fix it and once i realized how much useless wieght and complex sh@t(IMO , like i said im not into verts lol) went into making the quarter windows and top work, i took it all out. the 1/4 windows, top frame, rear interior, everything. for now ive made i simple frame out of square amuminum tubing and put a tarp over it. as soon as ive got time and enough money ill pull a mold from it and make a fiberglass top. im really into things being simple and i get frustrated easily if theyre not haha ,, also if anyone needs any of the parts i removed, let me know. id sell any of it to fund the fiberglass

A friend of mine did this same thing. took him a few months to get it perfect, but once he finished, it looked freakin sweet. it was a pain to get on and off by yourself, but he seemed to like it alot more than his rag top
