JC Whitney would not be my choice for a top!! you get what you pay for from there.. Iv'e done auto upholstery for 20yrs ( custom & complete restorations) and it can be VERY complicated to say the least. for one you have to have knowledge on where to staple everything! cause if you staple the top too short and it has to be moved up you now have staple marks in your new top that you CAN NOT get out!! they will be seen. I know it sounds like alot to bite off on one item but the plus side is: 1). It's done by a professional 2). it's got a warranty. 3). it will last a very long time cause it's done right. PS.. Also ask to look at some of there work it's always nice to see how they do there job.. Scot w.
