<VV> Convertible top pins

[Les]

My old '67 Firebird vert would not only give you a good pinch when moving up onto a driveway at an ange, I actually had the doors pop open now and then crossing railway embankments at an angle. It was only 16 years old at the time too! (strangely, I was only a little older).

It had the damper cans in the corners too. My '65 Corsa vert should be back on the road shortly (mere weeks) so I can see how flexy it is in comparison.

I certainly cannot speak for late convertibles... but I can speak for my
early.  I can jack up the left front corner under the body, leaving the
other three wheels on the ground and I don't get wrinkles In the top because
the body flexes.

Are late model convertibles REALLY that flexible?  If so... that is NOT
good.
