Does anyone make close enough/or correct Mod Top material? Any color would be good...

Legendary Interiors has the Plymouth yellow,...Laysons claims to have both, but has anyone seen either?


You could do an "alternate" style roof in the form of a modern vinyl wrap, it's been done with the ModTop floral style on a 70 RR, looked quite nice,...your only other source is NOS

Thanks! I sent Laysons an Email...Lets see if they respond. I am looking for small Mod Top/Gator grain material pieces...my wife is an expert seamstress, she would like to make a few women's purses using accurate material. Anyone have some any suitable scrap pieces out there?

Sorry Bill. They have been in my family since my Dad made the stuff in '69. The owner of the Mod Top Daytona made the same request. Perhaps I can put you in touch with him as he is having the top made shortly.

Just bought this from Laysons, 69 Barracuda Mod Top material. Sent it to Legendary to make the door panels, seat sets, and top!

You buy it by the yard so I could not give you a price for a B-Body. Please call Laysons, Moparts has a contact but I cannot remember is name at the moment, I think it is Rick...

Colors/prices listed as "available"...but don't hold your breath when dealing with Laysons


yellow flowered vinyl is listed as PN# LA-YLLW $150, the blue flower vinyl is listed as PN# LA_Blue $170, the Green Floral is PN# LA-Green $170, prices are for a "sheet", a "sheet" consists of a 55"X79" piece of fabric/vinyl


...IMHO, dealing with Laysons can be problematic at times, best advice is cash and carry, esp if dealing with the ModTop mat'l,...Laysons ModTop mat'l is close, but not exact in print, if he has any in stock at this time?, or is still offering?...but again an in person transaction is recommended, if you can't, perhaps find someone local to Laysons to help you, possibly from this board?

I had no issues buying the material from Laysons through Rick a couple months ago. Laysons bashing is getting old, yes there are issues from time-to-time but dealing with Rick has been great and he will give you the straight-up scoop about availability.
