What would be the value (range) if this car had a new top, was properly braced and had the back seat re-upholstered to match the front seat?  It is original except for the chopped off top.  The car runs and drives reasonably well.  It might need a new clutch.

Thanks for this good information.  I will talk to my mechanic about it.

I am attaching a diagram of the frame from a Kaiser manual found online.  Where would you suggest that the reinforcing should be as you look at the diagram?  I talked to my mechanic and he can weld some steel reinforcement but would like some guidance from you experts.  I'm attaching the picture of the car also.  Thanks.

The mechanism is supposed to be from a 54 Chev.  On closer inspection it looks like the doors are sagging so it definitely needs some reinforcing.  Is this expensive or can my local mechanic figure it out?

Does anyone know if there is a top manufacturer for a 52 Kaiser Convertible (see attached photo).  EZon top and Robbins don't list Kaiser.  Is there an equivalent car that would cross reference to this car?  I have the hardware for the top and suppose I could take it to a top installer and they could make a pattern and a custom top, but the cost would be double ($2,200).
Thanks for your help.
