Luis Ayala Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I installed one of MCG's vinil Tops on my 1933 Cadillac Town Car and they are very nice. I know a couple of guys that use ordinary masking tape for that. Here a couple of pics of my Cadillac Top.

Is nice to work with and comes with a detailed installation sheet. Easy to cut, flexible and has a very strong adhesive. It is just like installing contact paper.
CAL Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 I agree. I did the Model Car Garage top on a Fairlane and it was black masking tape, maybe gaffers tape. But if I do another I would probably just use masking tape. Compound curves are very trick to do though. I used Evergreen plastic for the seams and chrome trim coved with BMF. It turned out pretty good.
