Kamikaze,
Are you going to add a second control station?

The enclosure will be great. You can usually get a nice tight fit because of the solid mounting surface of the hardtop. Most shops use an 3/8" aluminum awning track riveted into the hardtop pipe (inside) with 8.5mm keder welt attached to the binding on the enclosure.

I've only made one enclosure for a hardtop. It came out pretty good for my first attempt. Looks like you have plenty of room to add smiley zipper on the sides if you want (look for pictures of Skunk's boat). Also you might want to consider adding zipper to front panel to access the sliding hatch/bow. If you add these zippers you be less likely to remove/replace the panels when the weather gets warm. Open up the zippers and you will have a nice breeze without the hassle of removing/storing and scratching the clears. Side zippers will more then likely have to be rolled up. The front zipper could be rolled or folded up against the inside of the hardtop and attached up and out of the way using common sense fastener (the turn kind).

Sorry I just got carried away thinking of making this enclosure. My imagination runs wild. This type of project would be a hoot to complete.
