I want to install the system before Bash in October but really can't find a decent location. Where have others mounted it succesfully?

It is unfortunate but I have to cancel this trip. Things at work just went into crazy level. We are trying to deliver a plane to our customers and someone decided to weld main power buss area with 270 volts across a pair of pliers. Lock out  tag out process was not used. Luckily no injuries except to the aircraft.

He was asking about which part I was referring to as the rain tray. This is on our 66 and appears to take any water that gets past the top and runs it onto the Rocker panel area just in front of the wheel wells. I don't know the official name of it, but here is a picture with three yellow arrows pointing at it. 

Can any convertible owners tell me how much water gets into the tray and dumped into the rails? Doesn't seem like a good idea.

Aprox 5:16 into the video. 

He is restoring a 66 vert in some of his videos. Some good information for me.

Thanks GregB. That us way lower than I thought. TimC also sent me some measurements from his car. Between these two data points I should get it figured out.

This a part I cut out of the old metal of Anna's convertible. Would like to order a new one but I can't find it anywhere that supplies sheet metal parts. I can re-use the old part, but I don't remember the exact measure to weld it back. Would rather have new metal.

Making some good progress on Anna's Convertible.
Original rain rain tray thingee just dumps the runoff water onto the Rocker Panel are and hopes to not cause too much damage. I plan on routing this water runoff through a rubber pipe system to a dump port inside the wheel well. I did this for the Fastback from the vent area to a port in the wheel well. My plan is to take this water through a rubber system that encircle the tray and then decreases the size to fit over the tray and into a 10AN fitting that dumps out of the wheel well.

When I took her car apart years ago, I didn't really look at the doors closely. A couple weeks ago I was test fitting them on the frame before I started welding the back of her car together. One of the doors are really in bad shape. where is a good place to get a replacement. Are the aftermarket doors any good? I don't think I can fix this one. it isn't the skin part of the door it is the inside the car part of the shell that is bad.

I looked at converting my British Mini over to the E-Scam battery systems. 20K + and it wouldn't even get me a round trip to work. Weight of the car increased so much I would have to beef up the suspension. This technology isn't ready. Keep trying to get better.

I drove my Mini to work the other day. Made it halfway there and started realizing I had no clutch. Drove home from work at the end of the day with zero clutch to work with. Back roads and forth gear were my friend.

Hey Steve we could meet you on the North end of Austin at the top of 130. Turck stop called Wahlburg Travel Center. Then you could get some travel time.

Once we hit North Austin we should take the toll road around city and let the Ponies run at a faster speed. It has a cost but cuts out the horrible Austin traffic.

Doug we could meet in Hillsboro or go slightly south of there in the town of West at the Slovaceks gas station to score on some delicious Kolaches. I grew up in West. Exit 353 I believe and go through the light. 
Plenty of gas pumps if needed. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ummKi8A9Hkcs4G4j7
