Looks good. How does it fit where it mounts to the car from the outside? Several canvas tops I've seen tend to wrinkle or bunch up in those ares.
Who supplied you top or was it custom made?

they call it the hood horn, i believe thats what its called. it rests in the bottom of the top that bolts to the body itself. it was completely rotted on my car, but the body was perfect. my friend said usually the body rotts before the metal horn.
