Install new top on frame and not just complete used top assy swap I presume?
If so, I think you will find $250-350 to be 'normal' from those who do that kind of work.

Well their rates have gone up then. Perhaps all have.
Try this guy,

I'm going to second the recommendation for Tim's. Word of mouth in my business is they do great work, don't know about pricing though.

There's a guy down in my neck of the woods that has a pretty amazing upholstry shop here in town. He did one of my tops for $200! Not only did I have my car back the same day, he also threw in a free carpet shampoo!
