Convert help/opinions

Thanks for the input Johnny Dart, I yes a pre made top is probably more the way to go, less to worry about going wrong I suppose, just getting the right guy to install it. Any particular reason for staying with vinyl or would it just be to keep the original look? I know the fabric tops like on todays cars can be quit pricey from what I've seen at top shops on the net.
WHAT no other opinions or comments? I know there's more than a few A body convert owners out there! Any good or bad top stories to share?
