Re: Is there a definitive leatherback top method?
I added a link to an album I just created with photos of my 28 Leatherback top.
https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/album.php?albumid=2055
The top was worn but I didn’t want to replace it on my driver car. It may be the original top but I am not sure since I think all the 28 Leatherbacks were built with a brown top. My top may have been painted when the body color was changed. The interior is original.
I gently cleaned the top and then rubbed a water based paintable caulk into the top filling the cracks and small scrapes. I then painted it with two coats of Sherwin Williams black enamel paint. It turned out looking pretty good for a driver car.
Good luck with your project. You should be able to see the seams in the photos.
