    A company IS reproducing it now and yes the gator grain is 54" instead of 60".  That is why all the gator grain tops did not have a wide seam.  We have had major problems with the company that is reproducing it, so I won't put their name out for the world to see.  However, if you would like to try your hand with this company, send me a private message and I'll give you the info.

    The reproduction material is very close to the original in pattern size, but it's a bit shiny and not as embossed as the original.  If I hadn't found me some original, that repro stuff would be going on my  car.

    Well everyone.... I went to take a look at the Gator Grain vinyl today.  It was real.

    This is how it went....

    I said "let me see how it looks compared to my upholstery book.... looks good.  How much do you want for it."  "Not for sale" was the next words out of his mouth.  I could have punched him.  I DROVE OVER 1 HOUR ONE WAY FOR THAT!!!!!!  I don't even need it, I was just going to pass it on to anyone who had a car with that top for the same price he would sale it to me for.

    He then goes on to tell me that he knows how "YOU GUYS" are and that he has delt with mopar people before!!!!!!!  He said a guy from the south named Chris run him through the ringer and he knows my type.  He then offered to reproduce it for me for $95 per yard.

    If you need it, you can PM me, but I do not want to promote him at this time.

    Sorry guys.... my fault, should have looked before posting.

    ps... with just the right light you can really see the brown in it.  However, it was black with just a hint of brown.

    How much would you want for the New  vinyl top that you are removing ?
    if it can be removed undamaged seeing as you also have a SE
