Hey, I purchased a new top from American Muscle and it came without any instructions, "whatsoever". I have found a few sites that offer an installation book, but I would rather not spend the 20 bucks on something I'm only going to use once. Anyone know where I can download an instruction manual for this or maybe a how-to video? I've searched youtube, e-how, and few other how-to sites but no luck. ?

.......better have an upholstry staple gun, and some industrial strength adhesive, and not the 3m chit in a can.....did mine last summer. they don't come with instructions cause it's not meant to be a job for the average joe

yeah, your best bet is to take it to an uphoulstry shop.

if you screw up, its done...

it took me 14 hrs to get mine right as it was the first one I ever did and will be the last........but I also did some repairs to the frame and had to install new tack strips.

Shelty

my frame has a crack in it. im gonna wait till I tear down the car to worry about it, thinking I may put a black top on it instead of the white...

black looks so much better and doesn't show the dirt

Shelty

since I was having it fixed by the ins co, they would only put back on what the factory put on

I also want the headliner.

the factory put black on

Yea, I've heard it's a pain in the butt to install a new top and I'm not really looking forward to it. lol But, I want to do as much of this car as I can, except for the tranny. I'm not going to try and rebuild that myself. If I screw it up...well I guess I'll get another one and let a professional do it the next time. I think I can handle it. Plus I get the chance to do another project with my Pops! Wish me luck
