Kevin, you may have noticed that I do most my own work but installing a vinyl top is not a good investment yourself. Why, because contact cement and concrete do not care about good intentions. Once you put it down, it's down and not easy to fix. I had a new vinyl top installed on my 73 for $225. The material alone would have been 150+ from JC WHitney. so 75 bucks to make sure it was right was a cheap win. One thing I noticed is that the prices vary GREATLY. I got everything from 500 to 225. The place I expected to be the most expensive was the least.

I need some info on how to put a vinal top on yourself. What do I need?
Where do I get it(Can i get some vinal at wall-mart)? How much will it cost?
How do I take off All the neccesary trim off, especially around the
windshield, and on top of the door trim off? I got the trim off by the
trunk lid, but can figure out how the other suff comes off. I got the
Lebaron emblems off also.
I sanded all the rust off until there was nothing but shinny metal, I
applyed rust killer, then I gave it a couple of coats of grey primer. Looks
nice,
Im gonna put a white top on, i have a 1971 Imperial,
Thanks for all the help,
Kevin Pacheco
