Default Tonneau Cover for 289FIA???

Has anybody had a Tonneau Cover made for your 427 or 289FIA Kirkham?

I'm thinking about buying a cover from factory five and then having my interior guy alter it to work with the 289FIA roll bar. I think it will most likely be cheaper to have a cover to alter instead of my guy starting from scratch.

Thoughts?

Resto, are you being "penny wise and pound foolish"? You undoubtedly have MANY thousands of dollars invested in your Kirkham. You'll be better off in the long run with a properly fitted, custom made tonneau that will look better than some modified unit that may save you a couple hundred dollars. You can also specify the color if you don't want just plain black.By fitting properly, you'll also have less chance of mating your finish. I don't think this is the item to cheap out on.

Maybe, maybe not... Actually, I'm really just not sure i trust the interior shops around my area.
