I am not sure what all comes in a "kit" from one of the repro parts houses BUT you might have to peice it together yourself...

Top Materal only from LeBaron Bonney or Cartouche or whoever;
Padding from a fabric store;
Chicken Wire from Home Depot;
Hide'em welt from an upholstery store OR original type roof molding from Bert's.

Whatever you do...just make sure the area that you are tacking the top material down in is very, VERY warm so you get a good tight fit all the way around or when summer comes it will be flapping in the wind.
