1970 Challenger V1F "green vinyl top" what color was it?

[RUNCHARGER]

Yes: I'm surprised they haven't gotten back to you right away. They don't want their reputation stained by what they sold you I wouldn't think.

I like the quality of their top, but have nothing nice to say about their customer service.

So this is my first restoration and not familiar with replacement vinyl tops. Again the flatness of the seams just doesn't look right to me along with the other issues. Is that the normal process they appear to be sewn on underneath side then folded and possibly ironed. In doing so all the texture or grain from the material has been flattened out. I plan on contacting them again tomorrow to find out the plan to make it right. I just want to know if I need to press the issue of the seams or it's just normal. Again any input would be appreciated.

[RUNCHARGER]

Press the issue, That isn't right at all. You need a new top.

When the vinyl top on my 70 gran coupe needs attention, it will get removed then I will paint the roof black and call it a day!

Holy hell - they missed the A pillars and baked the seems flat and then toasted a large section to have no grain.

You wouldn't put this on your ex-wife's car.

It's total garbage.  It needs to be replaced.

I have one similar, minus the AC and rear defogger...also have lots of side moldings but I'm trying to verify if they are correct color.  Mine appear almost black they are so dark.  The previous owner left me with several and extras.  Here's a copy of one of the two build sheets I found in this very well preserved car.

This thread was a good find!  My 70 RT is EF8 with H5F8 interior (that is nearly perfect and original).  It's also a numbers matching 440 auto with even the original carb and distributor.  How solid are these figures?  What is the source?  And with mine being a 440, is it even more rare (I hate to state the over-used "1 of 1" but it beckons the question)?

[7E-Bodies]

I have the one V5F body side molding EF8.  This is beyond cool.  Now just to determine if the detached moldings I got with the car are actually the right color.  They seem so dark, they are almost black.

I'll be in the identical dilemma...hoping someone has an answer.  Randy VanHook, of VanHook Upholstery in Bloomington IL (they do very high end mopar work) has personally told me he can do it.  I put faith in it, hopefully not in vane.  His number is 309-310-7886.  Google him, they have a website.  Don't let the website discourage you, he does furniture restorations also.  Hope this can help.

Just now saw this, but i'd be interested also.

Geez, just now seeing all this.  I'm just now digging into this for my own F8 RT.  Were you pleased with what you got?

Kevin in Illinois

[7E-Bodies]

Could you please pass the info along to me as well? 

[7E-Bodies]

Could you please send me this info as well?  Apparently I'd better get this on order if it takes so long.  I'll definitely be needing this ASAP.  I'd deeply appreciate it.  Sorry to just now see this thread.
