Default Vert rag top frames?

Has anyone ever rebuilt their frame and put a new top on theirself? I have a few rusted spots on mine with some really bad spots on the header bow. Alot of the hardware on mine is bad too. Is there a good source out there that I can use as a guide? Thanks in advance.

A friend of mine here in Jax Fl. has a few of them on a shelf...not sure of the condition though...I"ll ask about price....
might just be worth to get another top frame....I assume 68-75???

Gene,
That would be great. Yes, my car is a 69. I will compare the two, replacing or rebuilding, if you will get me a price. Thanks!

Don't forget shipping, it's a bitch on something that size/weight....I have NO idea...I sold a convertible hardtop off my car recently, but with crating it, and shipping....man, what a mess...got there OK, but it was one hell of a job and weighed around 150 lbs with crate....

If you don't mind when you get me the price have him include the shipping too. Those things are not light and there bulky too.
