well, Im taking my velle too the paint shop tomorrow morning. They are going to remove the black vinyl top(which is a shame, excellent condition)and are going to paint the top white to match the rest of the car. The reason I am doing this is because water had made its way into the top and caused the paint to bubble and crack and both sides of the car under the molding. I always wanted a real hard top anyway. I will post before and after pictures for you guys when its done. Thank god its winter, i'd be itching to drive the beast if the weather was still nice!

Congratz.
Hope all goes well for you..

Cool, I want to do the exact opposite.. I don't have a vinyl roof on my El Camino.. But I will be adding it someday.

I dunno how you do it.. I still drive my El Camino on days when it's cold out, and hasn't snowed in a few days. That way everything is frozen and there's no spray from the roads. I had a set of studded tires put on just for this purpose, since it's usually a lil' icy out when it's really cold. I try not to drive it too much, but it's just too much fun to leave cooped up the whole time from October to April..
