I use the original boot on my red 'vert, and have repops on my other 'verts. Now I won't say I love putting the boots on, but after the first ten or twenty times, it gets a lot easier. And you can't beat the way it looks ON the car verses OFF the car!
I tend to not keep the top down for more than a day or two, so believe me, there is a lot of 'boot on, boot off' going around my place.
The first time I put the repop boot on my '67, I thought it fit better than the original one I have for my 400. I don't know who the manufacturer was. It was a $69 Epay special. But it was nice! It did not have any labels sewn on it or anything to identify manufacturer.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!
