mustang plus retractable hardtop question?

Has anyone installed this product?

http://www.mustangsplus.com/projects/retract/index.htm

I saw a post the other day mentioning it and I looked at the pictures and the reverse trunk looks like it would be a novel option to add to my restomod. I tried emailing mustangsplus, but the person I talked to was not very helpful, he just told me to go buy an import magazine. If anyone has installed this and could tell me how hard that part of the install was and how it was done, I would really appreciate some information. I think it looks pretty cool and am wondering if the hinge is at the bottom of the tail light panel or where the trunk meets thepanel. I saw the old pictures of the original plans and it does it lower, I just want to know if it is done now a lttle higher for ease of installation, and where do you reposition the gas filler tube?

Edit: I was also wondering where the new release latch or keyhole is for the trunk with this option?

Call and ask for Ron Bramlett (sp) Tell him about the reply you recieved from one of his "caring" representatives.

I sent them an email about 8 to 10 months ago on this and they told me that it is no longer available. They said the supplier stoppped making them or something like that.

You will soon learn that Mustangs PLus is NOT very well respected in the Classic Mustang community.

They are and they aren't depending on who you talk to. There was a recent thread where Ron came in himself defending his company. Which was good, but he also said if nobody tells him of this stuff then nobody will know to fix it. Which is why I suggested you call him.

good company but they do sometimes have bad service it happens alot though in the automotive industry try dealing with alot of the newer mustang companies and it will give you a better appreciation for guys like this i will never buy from x2c motorsports again 6months for freaking racing seats thats crazy
