If it's for your '74, they are tuffer to find and almost all that I have seen are cracked, broken or at least "wiggly". My '74 is. Fiberglass mat and resin would be my recomendation, either buy some and give it a go or check with boat or 'Vette shops to have it done. Being a So Cal dude, you could just toss it a topless!!
There are two different topps that were used on the 73-75's the first is the very prone to cracking butted seam top. The other is the revised version where the seam from the roof section over laps the the sides by about a half inch. I think but I am not sure that the butted seam tops do not have the steel hoop in the rear either. I think the overlaped seam tops got the steel channel that's imbeded in the rear over the tail gate. the change over happend sometime in 74.
That said I need to go cut the tree branch (about 20ft long) off my hard top to see if it's busted /forums/images/icons/frown.gif
