FYI - you can also reshoot your top to redo the texture & black.
Also FYI not all tops are the same when it comes to the seals, cuz the early 70-72 had a different seals at the side windows, vs. late 73-76. So you'll need to match same-same for the swap.
The texture can be recreated with Wurth Schutz spray (underbody coating), then Satin Black paint. Look for the topics in the Originality & History Forum for redoing the tops, or doing the F & R Valances & L & R Rockers or the 73-74 black textured bumpers for the how-to of it, since the texture was all done the same way, as on the roof panel (google search works better than the site's searrch BTW).
IMHO - stick with the top that came with the car - assuming it's correct early/late or is the known original top, now almost half a century later.
PS - That looks like it may be a nice small-block V8 Tempest with the "Noodle-driveshaft" in the background ... maybe or the slant 4?
PSS - Never mind! ... Dang these old eyes!
I just enlarged the pic & read it's a Chev BelAir!
Good Luck Either Way!
