    It's hard to tell... Do you still have vinyl on the roof?

    If so, my experience was terrible with vinyl... My 75 had it and now the car is rust free, except for the roof. The little bit of metal that was left under there peeled right off with the vinyl!
    Just a heads up.

    I like the look. I think 4 doors need to be saved just as much as the 2 doors. Good Job and enjoy it(y)

    I must be the only guy who removed the vinyl top on a maverick to find no rust what so ever. Not Bad for an Ohio car that was outside for at least half it's life and possibly more/ Removed the top back in 92. So that was 22 years for the dreaded rust demon to attack. I am very thankful I got lucky!!! My qtr panels was another story though.....:yikes:

    i got lucky with the grabbers vinyl not having anything more than minor surface rust.
    i was going to put a top back on my four door, but more like the stuff they use on limos. that car jamie posted looks a lot better though.
