I will ask some of my lowrider buddies but I think im not sure that its not a actuall a kit I think you just get the lenght and width of the canvas or vinyl with extra on both ends so you can trim it and get the kind of trim that you want to border ie.... cover the seams and the glue that hold it down and thats pretty much it. But you have one of the best if not the best looking fit I have seen so far you could not spend another dollar and you would be good as is but I will admit more than likely nobody else will have it. Plus its just an idea but a two tone paint job would prolly be the easiest and cheapest way to get that look cause you just could get the part of the car painted the color you want the canvas top but just a thought

after some emails and call I was told that there are a few guys that still do canvas and vinyl tops but ints not may people around that can still do it and even less that can do a really great job. But the best answer is to find a guy who still doeus it for old muscle cars or vintage cars in general or to a shop the speciallizes in restoration and get them to do it or ask how much to just buy the material and do it but I was told that if you attempt this your self you will need at least 1 other person but really two other to stretch it and work it smooth and flush but for all that I would pay a pro to do it right unless you have the skill and confidence to do it your self but if you mess it up you will need a whole new paint job cause once that glue dries it aint going to just peel of hope this was some help to you
