Default new top for '65 vert

My '65 needs a new top and I don't think I can install it. I would like a recomendation for a good installer in the Chicago area.

Thanks,
XSRAY.

Default I bet u can.....

I installed one on my old 65 with the aid of the video (Knock), staple gun (alum staples), and steamer. Start with the video then if you are still intimidated I would use a Riggs Interiors. I am in western suburbs and I know there is one in Oakbrook area and probably bunches of them around chi.

I have the top video if you want to borrow it.
I did my own top and it was better than the previous top on the car. its do-able, if you have another set of hands at times. the wife worked for me!
