I think you should do the top installation. With your eye on details the end result I'm sure would be excellent. Many posts on this site showing owner installed tops and it's amazing how well they come out compared to some of the "Professional" installations I've seen with saggy, wrinkled sail panels.
Besides, if you do the install, we'd all have another great resource added to this awesome thread!

Thanks for the vote of confidence but this is something I wouldn't enjoy doing at all and feel I'd rather leave it to a pro. And the pro I use is the best of the best and a perfectionist.
I did install the top on my '69 Corvette with my wife's help and we did a nice job on it. But we both didn't enjoy it at all and I'm sure the GTO top is harder to do than that one was.

Roger,
My new rocker trim(both sides) was shipped in a long triangular package and I was really pleased with it. Unrelated, I saw 2 69 Liberty Blue verts at a small club show over the wknd. Both were cars I had never seen and looked great. Here's one of them
