    I can crate it and am wondering what it would cost to ship and who you might recommend ?

    TIA
    Hey,
    I have had this request before. Freight starts at $150 by truck. I am guessing that UPS should actually be similar.
    Have you weighed the top and taken dimensions to UPS for quote?

    I am willing to install the top on my car to do this for you.
    Let me know If - after the extra $$ for shipping - that it still works for you?

    Thanks!

            It is the start of vert weather!
            who needs their top restored to OEM+ ?
            get your appointments in early - space fills up quick in the spring.\

                It is not the first time I've heard this. Honestly I would do it, but I would need at least 8-10 cars lined up and a work space, maybe someone like catuned or similar.

                              Sorry to go kind off topic for this thread, but I really respect your work and would appreciate your input. Could you provide any tips on replacing the front seal on a vert? What type of sealant do you use? Permatex or another brand? Do you just line sealant along the front edge? Any other tips would be very helpful - installing it this weekend.

                              Thanks for your help and sorry to go off topic.

                              -Marc
