Default Cost estimate 29 Phaeton top install

Any ideas of a cost estimate to remove and install a new top on 29 Phaeton? Thanks

Mike at Classtique will give you an estimate. They do them all the time. I did mine myself, and it took me a month. Not an easy job.

OK, it took me a month off and on, but still was very difficult. I got my top from Classtique, and the instructions were pretty useful.

Did you have to replace the lace trim as well that goes around the seat or how does that work? I need a new top on my 1930. What about the upholstery, does that need to get replaced as well because of the way it's all stitched together?
