Thanks Marty. I didn't want all blue...blue top on a blue car. Didn't want black either. So, I went out on a limb and wanted to match the wheels. I was a bit nervous at first, hoping and praying it'll look nice and come out right.

They did a great job on that top, no wrinkles. Looks great Marcus.

Did a similar thing to my 1930 Cabriolet.

The OE Ford color for the top was a Beige colored canvas material. The OE color combo is Bronson Yellow/Seal Brown/Orange striping w/dark Brown interior so nothing inside or outside of the car had Beige. The Seal Brown was re-painted Black back in the late 50's which compliments the Black running boards + fenders so when I purchased new top material, I requested Black canvas. I got a lot of questioning & pushback on the choice, but it matches the car as-is & I have ZERO intention of ever restoring/making it a museum piece.

Looking forward to more progress updates.

Thanks guys....I'm really happy with it. Finally starting to look like a car again. Next up is the German square weave carpet and hopefully get this interior knocked out.

Love the finish on the wheels! and getting the top to match is perfect, definitely different in the best possible way!

Guys, where is the best place to source a pair of Recaro's? Where are many of you getting them from? I know they're not cheap, but I want to get the best deal on a pair because of course I'll only be buying the seat for the foam and the frame. I'll be taking off the original cover to have them covered in my custom leather color I've chosen. So, I'd want the best deal on a pair. Won't need to spend the extra coin on factory leather as I won't be using it. I'd buy the cheapest vinyl/velour option. Thanks in advance for any input and recommendations.
