Default Re: Does any Vendor have an entire top 'kit'

As I recall, there was also a strip of padding under the poultry netting (the clerk at Farm and Fleet didn't know what chicken wire was) over each of the wooden bows on my '29 Murray Fordor. That material doesn't come in the kit. Check your wooden bows, if there are witness tack holes across the top of the bows, those would have been to hold a small strip pad. The wire is only tacked around the edges. When the vinal is streched across the padding, the padding should not "show" by lifting the vinal up around the edges.

The top can go on without having the visor on your '29 Tudor. I suggest that you clean and paint all the sheet metal under the top material before you install the top.

It has been my experience that, by far, LeBaron Bonney supplys the best top material.
