1971corvette

Well after opening the cover yesterday & slowly unfolding the soft top I see a little bugger must have been hungry.

Need recommendations on a replacement top.
Strictly going to be a driver
Who has used what & pros & cons of the product.



mud dobbers galore
carpet is looking orange, will have to vacuum & see what condition it's in

Actually cleaning up nicely, other than the color fade, exterior, rear bumpers have cleaned up nicely, it's a driver & been in storage 12 years.
Picture was before storage, taken in Georgia.

For the price I paid I'm not really going to sweat some money spent on it now to bring it back to a street car to enjoy.



I at least am at a starting point where I know the history of the car & what's been done to it in the 26 years, 12 of which have been sitting unused & neglected
so some interior work & now a new soft top is on the list. Suspension, engine, trans & rear have been redone.
I've seen much worse = I'm happy & retired.

This is NASTY

You don't have (nasty) in Arizona ? I thought nasty was worldwide.

Why do you think the military has the boneyard at David Monthan? While you still have issues the climate is damned near perfect to maintain aircraft in storage adman near indefinitely.

A few mud dobber nests, & little critter sharpening their teeth, all in all for being in the container 12 long neglected years it has survived surprising well.

You might have better climate out there but I know you still have nasty things there, got a high school buddy living about 4 miles from the border = he knows

Yes I wish it was a little less humid here, but just can't pack up & move now.

Not to be an ***, just offering a correction: Davis-Monthan

Well **** maybe I can find carpet & a top out there hidden in a plane on the back row.
