New vinyl top done!

I just found a job to add to my never want to do again list (right up there with scraping all the old undrcoating off the botton of my floors) installing a vinyl top is not easy, and when some of your help is a wife who says she is going to pass out from the smell of the glue it doesn't help. But it is done and I am not planning to ever do that again. (til the next car come comes along) I can now see why they want $300-400 to install the top. dhoff

Nice job! Looks really awesome in the staged shots. Be proud of your work. And it's really cool that you have a wife who will help you with your projects.

Here's another thread by richeyb that deals with a vinyl roof install. From start to finish, and he did it basically on his own. https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...-top-help.html
