I don't have one ... yet. But I was wondering, is that ragtop Factory? What I am actually interested in is: you got belly pans on that, like the doubledoors? See I have a '69 double door (cool hey?!) with the pans, which currently has a pop-top, but I'd like to make that into a ragtop. I guess I'll have to see if it's possible without stupid amounts of work.
EDIT: there are a few good discussions I found, like this one:

You can custom order any size ragtop.So you can get an exact fit to your opening.
Depending on if you drilled or bonded it on you could always change it back.
I think this is a great solution for anyone with a poptop that needs a bunch of work.

Well I dont know what his cost but mine was $850 delivered.It is a 40 x 80 opening so add approx 6 inches each way to get outside edge dimensions. checkout streetbeats website for additional pricing.they often have sales and first time purchasing discounts.

| Sorry been out for a while, it was around $500 at Streetbeatcustoms. It's canvas which is a little cheaper then the vinyl. |

Do you have a step by step on your install. I'd love to see what you came up against and what you did to overcome. Peace!
