Default Anyone used a Crane Convertible Top Frame for a C1?

From my other post, I didn't get any response looking for a good top frame, so I will ask, anyone ever used the Crane Corvette top frame on a C1? My original top frame was needs a lot of work and the parts seem to add up to more than a new top frame. Any opinions on who offers the best top frame for a 1960 Corvette. All opinions are appreciated.

Default Convo. Top

Greg,

We used a Coffman Convt. top on the White '58 290 HP Fuelie that was restored at the same shop where your car is under completion. It fit good and there were no issues. Just my humble opinion from experience.

I'm sure he gets his tops from Sullys Tops in California.
You can also try my friend Dave @ 1-310-329-5334, who is also in California, he may have a nice original top for your car.
