1932 Ford Carson Top Install

You can see here how the top has taken shape. Steve will install the headliner first because the listing (the upholstery term for the flaps that hold the headliner to the bows) wraps around the outer bows. The roofline has more loft than traditional Carson tops, and visually it's much nicer. My top is hand-stuffed with horsehair; now Steve uses a natural fiber that will last for many years.
