I don't know how soon you need the rubber, but my dad has some laying around.
I'll check how much. How thick and wide does the roll need to be?
Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

The distance side to side is 63 1/2". I figure I need something to hold onto below that, so maybe 66" x 10'. I am also looking into long grain vinyl top material. Lebarron Bonney's is 63" wide and I cant see this working. I am going to call some places today. Looks like a Model T place has it in 64" wide. I plan to hold it down on the edges with a J metal drip rail like used on RVs. I will paint the aluminum rail a dull black and attach it with screws. It will take over the line of the factory drip rail where I cut the cab off. Anyone have a suggestion on finding the long grain in a 66" width? I have checked on Google. And Jerseyboy, thanks for the offer. I am keeping my options open and look forward to hearing back on what you might have. Thanks
