Default Need some Parts for the '69- Best souce/price?

Looks like I need to replace/rebuild the calipers on the vette. What should I expect to pay for a set of four? Should I forego the rebuild and just go straight to the stainless sleeved? Annything I should watch out for?

Also looking for a soft top frame. What should I expect to pay for a good used one? What should I watch out for? Are these rebuildable?

regards,

Marco

On the calipers, I would suggest skipping the frustration of rebuilding them and just purchase 4 new ones with new rubber lines as well. I've had excellent luck with calipers from AutoZone. They are stainless sleeved, have a lifetime warranty, are locally available, and they don't give you any flack about your old capliper not being a usable core. Plus, no shipping (thise dang things are HEAVY!).
