Re: new top
Trimming a top is one of the most difficult jobs a trimmer can take on. It does help to have a good kit and most trimmers can't cut and sew the stuff for any less money than the premade stuff so that is the largest concern for the DIY guys. You will probably find problems in any water entrapment areas that need to be repaired or replaced. If wood is involved, there will likely need to be repairs or replacements. Tack strips and the channels that sometimes hold them will have to be restored or replaced. Pads, cables, top irons, and lift mechanisms may all need attention prior to installation of the new top. Actually installing the top is the easier part but it ain't always easy.
If you are a dedicated DIY type and are resourceful in the search for needed information and parts, then I say go for it. |
