Anyone know where I can locate a soft top for my 1964 Glastron Thunderjet V-160?

If you were in Phoenix, I'd tell you to take her to a custom shop like Apache Awning- they can make anything. There's a good shop in San Antonio I would imagine

blewbyu, You're going to have to find a local upholstery or canvas shop that will make one for you. (They'll need your boat for a while to take the measurements, etc.) Unfortunately, they're NLA, and finding an old one that hasn't shrunk or isn't decomposing is next to impossible. I have a 1973 V178 Starflite I'd love to find one for, but have resigned myself to saving up to have one custom made.

You can try posting over on CGOA, ( www.classicglastron.com ) but I think you're going to end up having to have one made. Good luck. ;)

As much as the original top would be esthetically desirable a Bimini would probably be a lot more practical and easier to do.

What's a Dodger? If someone says a person that drives a Dodge, or a baseball player from LA, I'm gonna nut up. :laugh:

i think a "dodger" is like a bimini over the cockpit of a sail boat
