    Call Executive Motors in Gibsonia. They're 1/4 mile from where the turnpike and Route 8 meet.

    They did one for me on a buddy's '66 LeMans. Very nice. Pretty reasonable.

    I hate convertibles. That said, nothing sweeter than out cruising around with the top down on a warm summer evening. My wifes car lives 98% of the time with the top down, either driving, or siting in the garage. The problem comes when we go to the track and have to put the top up.

    Executive Motors does not do C tops and Can not get a hold of anyone at Street Lethal Performance. Back to square one. Still looking.

    Thanks for the Richs auto info. Did not leave message at SLP, called 3 or 4 times and stated mailbox not set up. Did find a guy in Uniontown Parrish auto upholstery. Talk to them, going to go see them next week. Got a couple good references Will see.

    Nice well good luck and I'll be following for updates also my vert has a new top that was put on a few years ago but it leaks around the back so I'll be looking for a shop to take it to this summer.

    Sorry Executive won't do it.

    Rich's was very good but I think he retired last December.
