I've done 3 vinyl tops on my cars over the past couple years. All 3 came from SMS. They will send you a sample if you want to see the material they use. I've also heard Legendary sells a quality top, but I've never seen theirs. Maybe someone else around here can comment.

Key Auto is the right stuff... correct grain pattern and feels rock hard after install, like the original tops were...cloth backed without the white fuzz backing many supposed "correct" tops have.

I like Kee, Brian turned me onto them some time ago. Both are VG tops. I would get samples of both and then decide for yourself. These pic's may help.

Mike/ Joe/ Brian,

Thank you very much for the information and timely input- much appreciated.
I want to do this project right the first time.

I have a 69 Camaro SS/RS Garnet Red /718 L78( all born with driveline) white vinyl top/white hockey sticks that I have owned since 1980 and the woman owner from 1973 is as anxious so see this car finished as I am.
