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.
