The crew at Legendary stepped up to the plate for me, they have made their first ever Gator top for a 1970 B-body 4-door.

A big THANK YOU to Ed B. at Carlisle Productions & Martin, Brian & Chris at Legendary for their help with this!

It may need some trimming and is a little lumpy. I guess the glue hasn`t dried yet? LOL. I`m glad they did that for you. Sometimes it`s like pulling teeth to get a vendor to do something like that. Congrats to Legendary!

Cold day today, I'll warm the shop up to let it 'settle' in.

The car will hit some shows this year as I first saw it, then new paint, top & pinstripes before the new top goes on for good.

Wonder if they would do a mod top for a 4 door. Stuff like this might make 4 doors more popular.I have a 69 pale yellow 4 door that I thought a light colored mod top would look good on.

Four doors are already popular - to those of us that truly love & respect them.

If Chrysler had only built 2-door, low production muscle cars back then, they would have gone out of business.

The lower powered cars, 4 doors, station wagons & trucks were where most of their sales & profits came from.

You have a variety of ways to solve your dilemma, while Legendary dosen't currently offer a Modtop reproduction, they are developing the mat'l for the 69 Modtop Daytona currently under restoration, it's the American Daisy pattern, that might become available?, or you could source some mat'l from SMS and have Legendary make a top for you?, or you could have a decal/sign shop that specializes in wraps, make a ModToP wrap on your roof?...either way your looking at approx $1500 +/-$500

SMS has mod material and they will source it out for you. I believe they send the material to Acme to have the top made. All one price from SMS and shipped to you but figure on taking 2-3 months and close to a grand in price
And Barry I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Nice vinyl top.
Wanted to ask Alaskan T/A; was the top shipped to you folded up
or rolled up. I don't see any folds or creases.

Sharp eyes!

They offer two options, folded (standard) or rolled at extra cost due to the shipping.

I opted for rolled & it was VERY well packaged. beer

How much extra was the shipping charge for the top to be shipped rolled?

That's how I've requested the SE/GC headliner foamed backed headliner mat'l from Legendary in the past shipped to me, because once you fold that it stays creased forever
