How much do you think it would be to replace a convertible top on a 91 GT? A person interested in purchasing my dad's car wants to change the top. I know they are about $150 for the top, but how much would the labor be?
it depends who you ask. some have done them themselves and reportedly had good results. but to really get it perfect is not easy. i dont know that i would tackle one.88stangmangt said:check out 50resto. it shouldnt be that hard to change it out
well put. your thoughts are definately the consensus. after doing a hundred of them, you probably get it down. LOL. the stang tops look like more of a pain than some others......v8only said:$773's a decent deal, I hear a lot of estimates at $1000-$1200
fyi, this is NOT a do it yourselfer. Top install is an art. You've got to stretch, pull, tighten, fasten. getting it all straight, tight and looking good is an art. I got mine done for around $500, but I took it to a family owned business that employees a lot of south of the border people. they did good work. on a budget, find a hole in the wall place like that, or go to mexico, but just a warning, as you can spend a lot of money and get crap if they don't know what they're doing.
owning a vert is a pure love affair, and I honestly would not suggest anyone getting a vert, unless you are a HARDCORE vert lover who can pay attn to the extra maintance of a vert.
