Hey dark 5.0, since you're down south I'm thinking you'd get a better price than I paid for the top. Westchester is just north of NYC and everything is pricey! Some shops wanted 750$, 800$ just for the labor. That plus another $300 for parts depending on what you need, I needed the whole works top, pads, and rear windshield. I shopped around and really lucked out. I found a guy $675, and he supplied all the parts too!! can you beat that?!
As far as my Stang, it's freakin brutal!! Can't really punch it out, you'll just sit an spin. I need more rubber out back. But at 1/3 throttle it still launches. It wants to go in like 4 directions at once. Front goes up, rear squats down, sideways, then finally forward! Hell and I still dont have 3rd gear. I messed up putting in the shift kit. When I finally get it painted(candy apple red, is there any other color for a conv?)and get the suspension dialed in watch out. I'm going hunting for imports!~!
