Whether or not a '69 drop top is worth the time and the effort to put a bunch of new skin on is a decision you have to make. Like Bob said, if you're looking at only the $$$ invested vs. potential $$$ returned, it's probably not worth the time. If you like the car and it's on your "keeper list", then why not do it?? Lots of yards over in Arizona would have the needed parts, might take some searching but I doubt the components would be terribly expensive. If you're a good tin man patch panels are easy to do.
