    I have two questions. I have just aquired a Kelly hard top for my 1960 3B. I am missing the part that attaches to the jeep itself then the door attaches to it. Any hope in finding this part and what are my alternatives? Question two is about the door themselves-- I see many pictures of hard doors that are S shaped at the bottom and some like mine that are angled sharply-- Why?

    You might be able to find that missing part if you find someone with a hard top that is pretty much junk and they are willing to sell parts off it. Not much of a chance of finding a new replacement part for it. You might be better off fabricating something that would work. I think the shape of the hard top and doors depends on the manufacturer. They all had a little bit different style. Can you post some pics of your top and doors?

    Edit: Here's a link that is good for identifying hard tops http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/Hardtop.html

    If you have a Kelly top that is just the way they made thier doors. I have an unmolested Kelly top on my 60 3B. If you need some pictures or measurements send me a PM. It looks to be formed sheet metal that a shop could probably fab for you with some dimensions.
