Default Anyone use Coffman Tops?

My 69 vert top is in serious need of repair/refurbish. The frame has rusted thru at the front on both sides. I was looking for a place that would do the whole soups to nuts repair/refurbish.

Coffman Tops did my '68's top back in '90 for like $1600. Every nut and bolt, the bows, rivets, padding, front header piece was restored or replaced. Basically the top was just plain shot. It was probably worse than yours. When I got it back from them it looked like an NOS top The fit and material too was superb. I'd let them do another for me if I needed them to.

I know Ernie Coffman a little from up at Carlisle and my buddy Tom Earlbeck deals with Ernie often. Ernie is an absolute gentleman.
