Rooster,

I did my top myself (with my wife too) and it took the better part of 8-10 hours. It is a project but we were very cautious and made sure it was right. 2 years later I still get compliments on the car as if it were new.

I am sure a professional could do it faster. It was a great project and I think on a 1-10 scale I would put this a 3. It does take time so be patient and it will turn out awesome. I have one small wrinkle and all I need to do is make a few tension adjustments and I am sure it will work itself out. Good luck.
