Here she is sporting her new vinyl top,Woke her up to give her a bath and to check that all things i had apart this winter still work. Still need to centre the steering wheel better after having the front suspension apart,also put new gas tank & sending unit in (gas gauge still works ) plus need to adjust the brakes after having them apart. She still has her winter shoes on,Torque thrust are shined up and ready to install.

Looks awesome Harry. I never had a top on since I went red and kind of wondered what it would look like. Now I know.

It could be the Ontario Firebirds version of Woodstock ... We could cruise Woodstock with tops up or down ... Either way would work for all, right?

Looks nice Harry! I know several people that just cringe when they hear the words "vinyl top", but depending on the car, I happen to like them too. They don't look good (in my opinion) on a 2nd Gen Firebird. I think it's when a car has shouldered quarter panels (panels that kick out from the roof line), vinyl tops look good. I'm a bit partial to your car, I'm not sure why.
