Chris, I think you would be better off to just get rid of the pump to someone in Ohio
I have a set of Pure ad glasses on my A-38. I'll remove one and trace it out a pattern for you. Send me an e-mail with your address and I'll get-r-done.
Take care my friend.

Chris, two pieces of plexaglas bent to form the curve is going to spring back and send your top skyward.
I wonder if that guy that collects 36 something or other tops will settle for a 38?

Chris,
Take rough meas. to a sheetmetal shop, have some galv. sheet cut to fit. Bend it after you get home. Paint and add a decal.

Jeff thanks a lot, r49th, I made a plywood mold of the curve of the A-38 top , I clamp the plexiglass to it and heat it with a propain torch , the plexiglass forms to the shape I need,it's real easy,just don't let the flame hit the glass for very long or it will bubble, just the heat is the trick. Dick , I want to light it up for a yard light so to speek, when I get the right shape I decal the front sand blast the back install it, and it looks good untill I can restore it and replace it with something better. Thanks again Jeff
