Videos showing Top Installation on a Touring
Does anyone know of any better top-installation videos other than the one made by the lady at Classtique a number of years ago? It’s so bad (sorry) and hard to watch. The black fabric in a dark garage videoed with a dirty lens on the cell phone…. I’ve watched it a dozen times and read the instruction sheet way more times than that as I push my way through this project. Seeing a clearer explanation on YouTube sure would make my beer taste better tonight.

Re: Videos showing Top Installation on a Touring
YES, Vince Iaccino, RIP made some very good and finely detailed video instructional videos for installation of different tops like One Man and Two Man also installation of the Open car interiors.
They were very good and may be available from different clubs or individuals. Vince had a brother also involved I believe.
Let me know if you are unable to locate

Re: Videos showing Top Installation on a Touring
Dave,
I worked with Elizabeth (the lady from classtique) to do the upholstery on my 23 touring. If it helps any, I have some pictures of the various layers as it went together. I also remember that there was a decent bit of sewing by hand to be done in there too. Let me know.

Re: Videos showing Top Installation on a Touring
If anyone has a source I’d be very interested in some of those, particularly the diamond tufting videos.

Re: Videos showing Top Installation on a Touring
While it's not a Model T, Dave Engels shows how to restore top hardware and replace the top covering. He has a lot of other great videos on other topics, too.
Start here and other top/upholstery videos are listed below.

Re: Videos showing Top Installation on a Touring
Hey Mitch. Thanks for the tip but the link doesn’t seem to get to the video. What is the title and I’ll try to find it that way.

Re: Videos showing Top Installation on a Touring
Hey John. We met on the Mystic Seaport Tour when we all stayed at the Inn At Woodstock a few years back and your Model A chewed up it's timing gear. I did get the DVD of Vince installing a T top and have been watching it as I work thru this project. Him talking to the camera with a mouth full of tacks amazes me! Quite the craftsman.
