rustybottom Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Let me know the serial numbers of the Darrin frames. One or more may be the missing Darrins I have been looking for for years. Great news to find some old frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowDeb Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Can you provide me with the manufacturer of these hard tops? I would like to get one for my 1954 Kaiser Darrin. Also, I have not taken my soft top out to check the condition but figure I will need to replace the soft top at some point...does anybody know where I can buy the material for the top and/or the side curtains? Thank you, Debbie 847-668-5004 cell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Debbie 847-668-5004 cell The guy that made the hard top was a man named Andy S.. Here is his price sheet from 1978.. Here is a picture of it. on the second kaiser over.. I owned it about 5 years now.. Edited March 25, 2017 by nick8086 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowDeb Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Thanks Nick8086, I really like the look of the car with the hardtop. Was it Andy Schroyer who made the mold? I understand that Andy was the one who originally created the Kaiser Darrin registry. Also, is it true that you have to totally remove the soft top and frame to install a hard top? As much as I like the look of the hard top I don't know if I would be willing to do away with my soft top. I am still trying to figure out how to access my soft top, I was pulling on the lever in the trunk and it seemed to be activating a release but when I went around to the cover area I couldn't open it. Waiting for a nice hot day to try to put up my soft top. Thanks for the information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick8086 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 I have a lot of snail mail from him.. Andy Schroyer . Not sure on the installation of that part. I Wish you the best of luck with your project.., Jake.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick8086 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have never used the side curtains. I have two sets just collecting dust.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkf Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The top cover release handle is cable operated. There are two release mechanisms that work off the single pull handle and when you pull the handle, the top cover should pop up an inch or so. You may have to have someone help...as you pull the handle, have them try to lift the top cover at the front center. If the cable is stuck, you can reach in and manually trip each release as well.

Dan Green Restorations Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 nick8086, You should mention that one of the pics you posted of the hardtop on the gray primer Darrin is not your car nor your hardtop. This is a Darrin that has been restored at my shop Dan Green Restorations in Salt Lake City Utah. I believe the hardtop on that particular car is an original from Darrin of Hollywood. Thanks, Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
