I put the black canvas top on the Buick roadster, and it took me a week. I now know why upholsterers get the big bucks. WHEW.

top looks great to me.  I would like to see a higher bow over drivers area........just gives a different look to the roof.

Just think when you get around to doing another, how much faster it will go, 5--20 minutes ???  you already learned some lessons with this good looking one.

          I was wondering if you would get back to this. Glad you did. That really adds a nice, complete look to the Buick
Very well done, Ghost. Ron

Looks great John!!   I beleive you are getting it dialed in man. It came out looking like a slight chop, nice flow!
The advertising people just sent me a new calender to approve (my shop has been closed since 2014  ::)) anyway on the front page is a silver '32 Stutz DV-32 Ralston Victoria. Has a black top, low and  similar to yours.

Wish my garden tractor seat came out half as good as your top.

Thanks guys. It was kinda fun and the vote of confidence is needed. Even my wife who sews for the whole family liked it.
 Sammons that seat looks good and comfortable.
