I originally built a "Carson" top framework for mine but ended up using a complete framework as well as bows, again, from LeBaron-Bonney. The quality is very nice even without using their stainless irons. Unfortunately, I can't find any of my assembly photos - I didn't take many as my upholsterer was waiting.

This is the "Carson" framework as it was being built:

And this is the 'final Lebaron-Bonney with custom fabric. I need to add the decorative 'hidem' across the front this winter.
