VINYL TOP MATERIAL 70 CHALLENGER R/T SE WHERE TO BUY? - 07/22/10 02:52 PM

Can't seem to find a vinyl top kit for a 70 Challenger R/T SE. Also the correct headliner material, looks something like a mid 80's GM material?? Many Thanks!

You might try a fabric store for the headliner material. A friend of mine redid his 86 Cutlass headliner with material from a local Hancock Fabric store. His turned out looking great.

Thanks OKIE, I have not looked at Legendary as I hear they really want you to deal with there vendors, who are these people besides Year One???

Was the SE top padded or just regular Boars Grain?

I was also wondering what the stitching width should be?

I am helping a friend who had a bad deal with a body shop and very few of his parts are left.

Thanks!

Barnabas Kriss has the correct SE headliner material. He's a member here.

Yes, it's regular boar grain material & NOT padded. Headliner is padded - the OE material I believe had a thin gray foam already part of the fabric. When the foam got aged & broke down, the material let go & sagged.
