Proper Vinyl Top Replacement Advice Needed – 1973 Newport Custom
Just picked up a 73 Newport 4 Door Hard Top in very good condition overall. Unfortunately, it does have 3 fairly small spots of the dreaded vinyl bubbles.
Some time this year I’d like to have the vinyl replaced. I do not want a small problem to become a large problem!
1. Do you have any advice on what to look for and ask for with a body shop? I’m located in Western NC near Arden if that helps. I want to ensure the job is done properly so rust won’t be a significant future…
A new apprentice of the MOPAR club – 1973 Newport Custom
Alexander here. In a few short weeks, I went from being sick and tired of dealing with repairing my 2003 Caddilac to owning my first land yacht.
Embarrassingly, I know very little about cars (despite being an engineer). Working on the Caddilac was such a pain that it killed any desire to tackle the learning curve that is modern fuel injection. I’ve always wanted a classic car and decided to make an impulse decision. No regrets, I’m hooked now.
I’m sure you’ve seen pics…
