Like other 78/79 owners I've been looking around for a soft top for several years. Today I stumbled across this site:
http://www.can-back.com and talked to a guy named Brian. Can-back has been around for awhile and had a pretty good reputation I think. I've seen one or two and they looked good, not cheap though. Anyway, the company has been sold/bought and the new owners are working on prototypes in conjunction with a new fabric vendor. They plan to start producing tops for current production vehicles and then move on to older vehicles. Where they start with older vehicles may be influenced by what market they think they will have. At best it will be a while before anything is made for the 78/79's but we need to start somewhere! If you are interested in one, please go to the site and fill out the "Status Notification List" form to let them know you are interested.
Thanks,
Charles
