I did this on my 67 when I first bought it in 1977 and will probably do it myself again later this year when my car is ready to have the top put on. Wa a pain put not gut wrenching. Start at the front and work your way back. Use your old top as a guide to cut the bolt holes in. Get an air or electric staple gun. Also look at the condition of ALL your mounting surfaces while you have the top off. Spend the time and $$ to fix any problems. Especially around the back/window mounting area. Both the strip and the screw holes in the body. Good luck!!!
Honest dad, that 455 on the side of the block is a serial number
