Ok, so I picked up my resto mod seats from the upholstery shop yesterday.........EXCITING. He did a fantastic job of mixing cloth and vinyl and giving my seats the factory look with little twist which I believe is going to be perfect for a hot sunny day...after all, nobody likes waking up and sticking to the seats.

Onto the top. He only shows a listing for a plastic rear window for the 66, and can get either a glass or plastic window for the 67s.....Question is, will the 67 top fit on the 66? Also, he doesn't show a listing for a well liner for the 66s, only 67s. I am under the impression they are the same? Can anyone shed any light on this? AGAIN....thanks in advance for the input....we are probably about a month and a half from putting this car back on the road!

those look great! nice job

I heard from another member here that a '67 top with glass window will not work on a '66. The rear top bow is different.

Thanks for the input....i would guess that is probably correct. if you hear anything different, please pass it on. I am planning on the top happening before convertible weather gets here....mother nature is still dumping loads of snow.

Thats what I was told when I did mine, went to 2 different places before I had my top put on, really wanted to use a glass rear window, would like to see a 66 and 67 next to each other to compare, I was told by others it would fit but didnt want to take the chance and eat it if it didnt. All in all the top is only up when I park it in the garage.

I really like those seats

I went to a friends house today, his business card used to be "Coronet Connection." He dug out his 1966 and 1967 service manuals and looks like the rear bows are different as they carry differing part numbers. The center two bows are the same......The rear bows are available from a few different places......I wonder if a guy cant replace just the rear bow and put a 67 top with a glass window in a 66?? Looks like the spec height for a 67 is higher for the rear bow......

That sounds like the way to go.

I'd love to put a 67 glass window on my 66 too.
