Re: looking for convert tops (NOTHIN'LIKE'A'69')
I think the original type vinyl material isn't the best looking stuff in the world, I much prefer the Stayfast cloth look of the modern Corvette 'vert tops. It is less shiny and smoother looking to me. There are a several places that sell C-3 tops made of Stayfast, RollingThunder gave me a link a couple of months ago, (which I have since misplaced) with some good prices for Stayfast tops, but I was able to find this place by doing a Google Search on the web. http://www.ecparts.net/corvetteconvertibletops.htm
and this place http://www.topsonline.com/en-us/dept_66.html
Also I believe Al Knoch also sells tops made of Stayfast on a custom basis.

I bought the top for my 95 Corvette from AA Best Co. Good quality products. Like Steve said, the stafast material is superior to the vinyl if you are not concerned with originality.

Did my '69 myself with an Al Knoch. Top notch quality. Don't forget to check your front bow for rust (very common) and get all the weatherstrips and tack strips at the same time.

very funny..... you would know that there is really "nothing like a 69" if you hung out more with your wife and put up with stupid reality tv shows!
by the way.... the 68 is a rat! :lolg:
