    i finally scored an ACME top... i will post pics later. here is what i got: top/doors, all hardware and the door latches work. all glass in good shape. no major chunks missing... overall top is in great shape. $400.00 and it was 20 mins from my house...

    Great find Kyle!!

    Not sure on the liftgate struts. You'll just have to measure the mounting points when closed and when open... the off you go to the local salvage yard... :D
    I went with a buddy last Saturday to a local boneyard, looking for struts for his old Probe. Most were as bad as his, but we eventually found a good set.

    Nice top! A freind of mine has one just like it on his 69. Yours looks great with your colors. I'm jealous.

    Check a decent flaps for the hood shocks. Once you know the length you need.

    Sharp! Let me know the dimensions of the struts, I have a collection of new ones from cars I put spoilers on at work. the factory sends uprated struts for the added weight, so I get left the old/new ones. If they'll fit I'll send a pair to ya for the cost of shipping.
