I just went through a big production on a top for my 69 in March. The measurements I've noted on probably close to 12 original 1968/1969 Camaros was wrong with all the reproduction tops. The seams were too narrow on the tail section. The seams needed to come out almost to the inside edge of the back window chrome or 45.5 inches outside to outside & the top part of the top should be 39.5 . I needed Parchment which was on correct at SMS. Kee no longer has Parchment, only white. Kee wouldn't built it to my specs. SMS was the only place that had Parchment & would make it correct. It wasn't cheap. Don't get me wrong Kee makes a great top but the 2 that were just done around here look great but seams were totally wrong for a 1969 Camaro....Joe
