putting a vinyl top on the Oldschoolcuda

All of my trim arrived in great shape and started process today. Still debating precut top, fabricating myself out of bulk material or even skipping vinyl & going gloss black paint with trim which would look cool. Removed the drivers side drip rail trim, loose fit vinyl top drip rail trim and mocked up with scrap piece of fabric just to get feel for look. Attached some pics of drip rail removal process for folks to see along with mocked up drivers side. Will add pics as process continues.

here is an idea,,, I see your interior is gold,,, in the traditional hot rod world,,some would call it the rat rod world, rat rods are junkie vintage bodies, that gives people excuses to make it more junkie,,lol//
any way in the hot rod/custom world the color GOLD is like a richual,, lots of guys either use a metal flake steering wheel,, or paint the roof of there cars super heavy metal flake gold,, if you put the top trim on and painted the rooof like that it would be kool, if u like that look,,, just my 2 cents

Thanks fstfish. First thought on gold was no way but searched the web and found a couple of nostalgia/altered car pics with gold tops and if done right looks very cool. Here is blank canvas ( pics of my cuda ) i'm working with. Also will be switching from rallyes to steelies when top is changed.

You could also gold table lace the top too.
You are a bad influence scotty making me look. They have some awesome wheels & nostalgia cheater slicks. Just the look i'm after.
Could not find example of gold but very cool look.
Sorry for thread dump. Recent retirement & start of new part time gig slowed me up on my cars but back full steam ahead now. After much research and comparing paint & vinyl looks have decided to go contrasting paint on my roof while using vinyl top trim. Pics to come, hopefully this weekend.
