It's finally warm enough here in upstate NY to put on my NOS convertible top and frame assembly I bought from Sports and Classics last month. I'll post a picture when we're finished installing it. If it takes more than 20 minutes, I think it will be a long night!! Now if I can get the seats back from the rebuilding shop, the frame off resto project will be complete. Pics soon God willing....

Plan on 1 to 2 hours, or a little longer for the first time. Don't rush it, you can't always fix your mistakes on the fabric.
 
Took 1 hour, and the only hard part was getting the set screws started on the side mounting brackets. I'm planning on getting it out (pushing) in the sun tomorrow to help stretch it. I'm very impressed with the fit and it sure was a heck of alot easier than putting the top onto a bare frame!! Pics enclosed.
