Getting close to paint and would like to get the vinyl top ordered. Does anyone have a recommendation on which company to go through or maybe they all get them from the same place? Read Joe's install post but I didn't see where he bought his top.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

I'm guessing you meant SMS Auto Fabrics since I got some very interesting search results ; )
They are close to us, went to the warehouse looking for upholstery for the '34 Ford a few years ago. I didn't know they sold finished product. Thanks for the tip.

Just put mine on last weekend - got it through Ames Performance. I was very happy with the product and would use them again.
I was going to ask how it went?

I got lucky today, my husband has a '59 chevy PU parts truck and the guy who did the upholstery in our '34 stopped by and wants some parts off it. So we made a deal, he'll make the top and install it for the price of the material and a few parts off the truck. He does great work.
and I wanted that thing hauled to the scrap yard years ago.....

Brian - thanks for asking. It turned out great. I had two guys helping me and it took the better part of the day but it was worth it - the seams are straight as can be. I used a small wooden roller and heat gun to attack bubbles. Waiting on some RaggTopp to arrive for final clean up and protection. Only trick now is getting the drip rail trim in place. Anyone know how far back i have to trim the vinyl? Any trick to share getting it on?

Yeah. The 1 of 1 Adriatic blue '72 Trans Am should be there also.
