    Some will say its sacriligious to cut of a Visa Cruiser roof and put it on a van lol .. But I did that ... just to save the roof ... 35 years ago The cars were meeting the crusher much too often . the roof was a classic must have when the custom van was King . Start throwing the darts or show me some love ... I,m good with both . Just google Cosmic Cruiser .. in the meen time I will try to load some pics but i,m on an old pc me and I,m not holding my breath , I,m looking for a new roof lol

    Wow, you are an industrious fellow. Great choice of roof for your project. Welcome to the Forums. We have fun here, we tease back and forth a lot, but we thrive on pictures of other members handiwork, and heck, we even take a few things seriously from time to time.

    :wave: Hi Ivan, welcome to the forum...now that is a very interesting project... and very unique...for sure!

    There has been alot done to alot of cars and alot of $$$ spent just so they can revel in the glory of being a station wagon owner. Although that is a very long roof and off of a wagon, I'm sorry to tell you that it is still not a wagon :lolup: Had you joined sooner we would have saved you alot of cash...you don't even need a wagon to be a member here ;)

    I have a roof I'll sell you for 17K , and the rest of the car goes with it.:biglaugh:

    With the dual front wheels that looks like one of those Mexican tour busses they use in the mountains or an old Tyrell P34 Formula One car.:biglaugh:

    They used those roofs on virtually everything, there's probably a motorcycle running around somewhere with one.;)

    I bet the roof rusted out around the windows like all of them do.
    It's hard enough to find one with a good roof, let alone a car with a good roof to cut off.:(
