I did it in an afternoon. Technically its not complex, the riveting is interesting, but doable with a youtube tutorial. I followed this tutorial for the entire project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV_3HJt2_Uk
I would recommend having a friend because stretching the new material is difficult to do on your own. I would also recommend buying a roof with a rain rail installed, as I can imagine it would be a pita.
Finally it took a while for me for my fabric to be pliable enough to get the rain rail fastened in. I actually tightened it first without the metal rails that hold in place, and then as it heated up with the sun I was slowly but surely able to get it completely on.
This is the one I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FKHDYZK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and its been fairly nice for about a month now.
If you are buying it with the frame, it would be a cake walk
18's on a NA are about the equivalent of 26's on a Caprice.
The day after I bought my car, a hard top popped up for $750 about 2 hours away. It sold before I had time to check it out, and I haven't seen another below $1200.
Best bet for now, would probably be to just get a cheapo soft top to get you by until you come across a decent hard top.
I don't have this, but have seen people recommend it. Seems about the cheapest you are going to find with a preinstalled rain rail
I got this one on amazon with new rain rail pre-installed for $255, free shipping. Looks great! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FKHDYZK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
