I think I know where to buy parts like doors, hood and other things. But Im kinda lost and where to buy good quality vinyl seat covers and vinyl tops? Theres other vinyl peices but for now I think I really need to know where to get thoughs to things. Oh and whats the vinyl thats on the inside of the door called? And where do you buy that too?

Well interiors covered. So what about vinyl tops. Like for a 73 Charger SE? And possibly the opera windows too?

Same place. I bought the vinyl top for my 73 Rallye from Legendary. It looks good.  I bought front seat upholstery from them. They look good but one of the buttons have already come off. Didn't even get it out of the shop.  :'(  I called them and left a message and I got the very reply back that I expected... none.  :flame:

Stupid economy... Making everything high priced and damn hard to get... Well im talking about chargers but even there parts. What do you guys think about SEM vinyl dye? What color is the 73 Charger SE black vinyl called? Like satin black etc?

Ask around, as sometimes upholstery shops, or other places, will do vinyl roofs.

I have a 68 Dart GTS that needs a vinyl top. I asked around and was told that a guy at a local glass shop does them
on the side. Everyone said that he is very good, but that he is expensive.

I went to see him. He will buy the vinyl, in a color that matches my car instead of plain old boring black.
He makes his own seams, and will install the top and trimwork, all for $425. Guarantees satisfaction,
and warrants his work.

I didnt think that was a bad price at all, so I told him to order it up. He didnt even want a down payment.

Today I looked at the old seat covers that I took off, and I'm not sure what pisses me off more... The fact that Legendary never bothered to call me back, or the fact that those 38 year old seat covers still have all the buttons on them.

 That's why I order my seat covers with no buttons. But seriously, if you take your time and have confidants in yourself its not that had to do the vinyl top yourself. I think doing my headliner was 3 times harder than the vinyl top

I also had seats reupholstered but chose to delete the buttons since they always seem to fall off anyway.
Vinyl roof should be able to be done yourself if you puchase one that's premade.
Hoodlining on the other hand is sucky to fit and IMO best left to a pro if you want a decent finish.
Gotta love a '69

I made a run by Legendary this last week while I was in the area. I'll have to take my seats out to do it but they did give me a bag of buttons to replace any that come off.  They don't have them ready yet but they are working on 2nd gen dash pads, and their upper door pads look great.
