Looks great Dave. I don't remember and don't feel like going back to look, but did you have to replace the top?
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Yes, that's just white paint on the roof. The new vinyl top is still in the box in the garage.
Something clever here.

Best Cliff Clavin Voice--Vinyl roofs became popular because it was an easy way to cover up the poor stampings of the c-pillar. The 72 Challenger I had displayed a little bit of rippling in the c-pillar.

I've glued a lot of things with contact cement and it's not difficult. I've never done a vinyl roof but I wouldn't be afraid of doing it. If you want any tips let me know.

Thanks for the vocabulary lesson. I have got a feeling that car's original paint job wasn't half as good.
