Arthur,

Yes, I made a deal with Ron and he is fitting the top. He will no doubt do a better job than I would. I am trying to decide on a color...any suggestions. I only know black and maybe a little contrast would look good. Give me some ideas.

Back to the hardtop. I was on the west coast with my car in late August after attending the WSCB in Sonoma, so it was an easy decision for me to try to make a deal with Ron to do it. He was reluctant, but I was persistent and he made me promise not to bother him on how long it might take to get it done. To make the deal I offered to help sell a car he had in his shop by bringing it to Texas. He didn't want to deal with trying to sell it in California. That is really why he agreed to do the top for me. So, I have a very nice Gray (no stripes) Butler with a 351W, Doug Nash 5 spd, Jag rear and Centerline wheels and a radio. It looks good. I am on the hook to sell it, so tell your friends.
