babe grand Backyard Mechanic Registered: 12/06/02 Posts: 387 Loc: medford nj	Can anyone give me a rough idea of the top dimensions? Would it be a long or short grain material? Won't be getting the car for 3 weeks and would like to order the material now. 5 window Edited by babe grand (02/19/10 11:30 AM)

Junkyard Dog Registered: 11/23/01 Posts: 20039 Loc: Eagle Point, Oregon	Yep, that is the type of insert that Hampton Coach (the Ford Dudes) includes in their kits, however, it is not identical to the original insert material. _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"
