I'm going to replace the vinyl top on my (ongoing) project. 70 Cuda.
Dante's has a vinyl top for $399, anyone have praise or complaints about their quality ?
Not sure I even want to ask where it's made.......
What kind of options does one have for a source ?

I have no recent experience with VTs, but I'm sure Dante will tell you who the manufacturer is; he's always been honest with me.

Must be 30 years ago that I went through 2 green vinyl tops on a '69 road Runner: the 1st one lacked the "antique" color detail. I don't recall who made it, but I do recall the Legendary material as having the correct colors & etc.
If your VT is black, no worries there.
I'm no an E-body expert, so I don't know the VT colors or whether they had that "antique" feature; I'm only aware of 2 seam widths.

I would suggest that you buy a Legendary top and get it through Dante [Linked Image]

If its not Legendary do not buy it. I bought one for my Charger and it was junk. I sent it back to Dante and it cost me a bundle for the shipping I had to pay for the junk to go back. .
