[malibubronco]

Here is a close up shot of the rust issue with my 73 hardtop.
there is a softball size dent also. It's rusted through in this area
and some on front left corner. Fix it? Replace it? anyone with a
better top for sale in California area??? thanks guys...

i would say go with a soft top

I would look for another top. Save the chrome parts off your old top (sport trim) hard to find.

If you're doing the work yourself, it depends on your level of patience and ability. It looks to be salvageable, but there are usually nicer tops available for sale just about everywhere. Depending on what other damage lies beneath the paint, it might be cost-effective to start with a more solid top.

Well, I agree with the previous post BUT you could save it and DO THIS!

If you do decide to get a new top you still could DO THIS!

AND if you don't DO THIS I will come pick that top up if you decide to throw it away and DO THIS:
