Once I get the vinyl top on I'll sand the whole car out and buff it. Then the black stripe will go on it. I'll also throw my new red lines on it. It should start coming together pretty good now. I need to get the side scoops, front valance and side markers all painted as well. Then I'll start getting my interior back in it starting with headliner, heater box, dash, carpet and seats.

Shouldn't you have done the cut and buff before installing the top? 69.5 A12 Bee, first purchased in 1976, car 169 on registry 69 Coronet R/T 440/4 spd 69 Coronet 500 Conv H code 383 4bbl/auto 37 Plymouth PU Find your spot on earth and ride it.

I did have the car bagged up but you never know. I also don't have to be as carefull leaning over the car to install the top as any fine scratches I put in it installing the top will buff out. A lot of people actually install the vinyl top before they paint the car.

I got a few bubbles in it and I'm hoping they will disappear when the sun hits it. It was a older stripe that we had kicking around since 2007 so the backing came off really hard. I've never had a problem installing stripes but this one was a fun one for sure. 8077507-blackb4.jpg (112 downloads)
