1953 Sunliner conversion
Has anybody here converted their convertible top from screws to hydraulic? If so how easy is it? I have a '53 that is missing the top motor cables and screws and I have been unable to source replacements so was considering this option or leaving it as a manual top. I would be interested in hearing from anybody with experience on this conversion. Thanks in advance

Re: 1953 Sunliner conversion
I have the same car you have I spent 5 yrs restoring it, I was lucky all the top parts were there and worked, if your car is 12 volts Hydro Electric in Florida sells a nice complete kit to change your car to hydraulic,a friend put one in his 53 Mercury, very nice,If you can find a late 53 or 1954 Ford or Mercury they went to hydraulic, It will work on your 53
