For the top there was enough of the original canvas on the back of the header bow to get a very accurate match. It is dark brown, about the same color as the body.

More progress. Top is almost done, just a few other details and the 3 aluminum trim strips. I think I'll go light with the pictures from here on out, might be fun just to show up at a show with the car finished and display all the details then.

Top is looking great Will! When it's done maybe you can drive it east. We'll take it for a spin on our uncluttered Vermont roads.  |
