Looks like they have rubber flooring if you ever wanted that, but no vinyl tops, at least not on their website

No answer at Early birds, but their listing for a top looks pretty generic, not mentioning "wide seam" or narrow....also asks if you want padded or not  :o

I was surprised to hear that the Komoka outfit was still around — specializing in carpets and mats seems like a good pivot.

Yes, Early Birds is a surprising choice.  I still remember when it was almost pure Pontiac.  Izzy had brought up a really clean '68 Firebird hardtop for a close friend.

What is the difference in a wide and narrow seem? How wide and are they special to certain models or years?

anlauto

The wide seam is unique to 70-72 Challengers where the two seams get wider towards the back and travel down the B pillars, whereas the narrow seam has two seams that travel straight from the windshield to the back glass like on 70-74 Cudas and 73-74 Challengers....and most other Mopars.

Ok, now I get it. I have seen both. I thought it might be something I was not aware of.

Exactly the opposite my friend.  I always thought the wide seam tops looked weird.  The windshield and back glass are the perfect start/end points for the seams.  It just looks goofy with the seam running down the B pillar.  :alan2cents:

Bullitt-

Yes, I've called them the other week. The nice lady said 6-8 weeks.
The last vinyl top I order from them, the nice lady said 6-8 weeks and it was over 24 weeks before I got it....as I said, that was the LAST top I got from them  :verymad: :haha: :haha:

It appears a lot of items are back ordered and sadly many projects may end up getting delayed.
I missed it if Rusty Smalls posted it here, so sorry if I'm reposting, but here is what he posted on another site regarding Polyglas tires:

Quote from: SmallHurstHello to everyone!!


If you have not noticed, everything seems to be on backorder. This includes..... REPRODUCTION TIRES!

If you are wanting tires for a particular show.... please contact me now! I may have to break the news that your car may not be finished.

This includes everyone trying like hell to get cars finished for MCACN. If you are needing tires, get with me and I will be brutally honest. If properly planned, there should be no surprises!!

My cell is 816-654-3400. Thanks and I hope everyone is doing well!
