    Brenton,
    Al Knoch sells tops but I don't like the way they fit arount the side windows, much too short. Also fit too tight on the rear frame sections. We have installed a lot of them and the issues are all the same. They seem to go thru NCRS ok but I still don't like the fit. That is my opinion. My solution is use the hard top for NCRS flight judging.

      Brenton, Al Knock sells two styles of tops. Gene did'nt specify which one he is referring to. Check the links below, but also go to the archives and search for "tops". You can read about what Gene was talking about and what other people have to say, both good and bad.

        Hello Gene, You are exactly right I had a top put on about six months ago that i purchased from AL-Knock, I didn's like the way it fit on the sides above the door glass, one side wasn't to bad, but the other side was to short, I had to remove top to do some frame work, I installed a new rivet & bushing kit that i purchased from Sully's tops. I really don't want to have this top put back on, I have bought tops from" Robbins Auto tops" for cars other than corvettes, they do sell a high quality good top, They do carry one for corvetts but dont know how they fit.

          Did you buy the "regular" cut or the Kennedy cut?
