RCstang, it kind of looks like we already started one ;D
I will also tell you to stay away from Monte Carlo tops from the '90's. That's what I used on mine and I played holy hell cutting it down and making it work. In retrospect, I should have just trashed it and started fresh with something different.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Here's a picture of mine after it was all prettied up. Do NOT use the roof off of a Monte Carlo!

Looks very nice, mine is flat and it's  to flat in my opinion, still working on blocking the roof.
