Awesome !! Coming along great!
I've thought about doing this body style drop top but using all Formula S components and trim.
Always thought Ma Mopar missed the boat by not doing a Formula S convertible in this style.
That's exactly what I'm doing! :thumbsup:
 
I don't understand it either, They had all the parts on the shelf to make a Barracuda convertible, but, didn't offer one. Strange.
 
Beautiful looking car. Thanks for posting. Stuff like this keeps me motivated, especially after a tough day in the shop (like today.) I never thought of a Formula S convertible, but don’t know why. It’s a great idea. I was shopping for a Formula S my senior year in high school when I found my Dart GoGo. I’ve always loved the early ones.
 
This is how it looked when I bought it. Solid car, very little rust.....just lots of dents here and there. I replaced both front fenders and hood with straighter stuff, and the right rear floor pan (the only rust). Everything else has been ironed out.

Look like a few parts cars in the background to help with the conversion.

Keep posting pics of the progress. This one's very interesting!!
