Replacing convertible top on 1968 Corvette

I am in process of replacing my soft top on my 1968 Corvette. This is a bigger job than I thought. Does anyone provide this service for installation of the top on the frame if you ship them the parts?

Thanks

To properly fit the top material to the frame, the frame should be on the car. That way the person installing the top knows where to cut, trim and sew.

The fit on each car is different.

If you have some skills this is not that hard. Rent the dvd from Corvette Central and decide. I decided to tackle it, refurbished the frame, replaced all top parts & vinyl. Looks great and I saved big. Go slow and follow the instructions. Let me know if you have further questions.
