Team members, our 69SS350 lemans blue camaro with black vinyl top needs some repair. On the passenger side along the side there are the dubious signs of bubbles:sad: , yes, good ol' rust. I know or believe once the vinyl roof is removed even partially for proper repair the vinyl roof is history. Assumption on my part but? Where is the best source for a new vinyl covering. I welcome both good and bad experiences as we learn from both. Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice.

Chick the vinyl top is covering alot of sins as you will find out, just like I did. This link (http://www.carsbyjim.com/storage/Vinyl%20Top/) is to my storage site of photos of my vinyl top pics and then my webpage (http://www.carsbyjim.com/index.cfm/pageid/99) has a bit more
Once you start it will snowball. depending on the tools you have access too over there, it might be quite a challenge. Most of the larger catalog resto outfits have the vinyl for you too.
Good luck.

Thanks for the insight Jim and I suspect as always when you dig in you find more than meets the eye. The covering, who makes the best the best match to the original or sells the best one?
Anyone have suggestions?
