Hot Rods model tops what to use

working on a 1931 2 door sedan what is the best top to use on it for a steal top thanks

 

I have a 32 sedan and Ive heard that a toyota seinna mini van works. Might be close for a 31

 

64 Chevy wagon......I can hear the groans now....but back then nobody wanted them....

 

I heard dodge mine van

 

If you want ribs(like the 80s and 90s) toyota seinna has a smooth roof skin.

 

the rib would make it more stronger ???

 

Well...the rib will definitely make it look like a popular 'glass body... Can't recall their name, but they were all ribbed.

 

To me its not strength its what it looks like.

 

Used a 67-72 Chevy Suburban on a Model A Vicky, fit fantastic after moving it around a little. Can't remember if I used the front or back portion, the remainder got used on a 28 Essex coupe

 

I used an '86 Toyota minivan roof. No ribs. Here's the picture-heavy thread:

But the better response to your question is to recommend that you make a plywood template of your roof's crown, and take that with you to a junkyard. That way you can find something local that will fit, instead of hunting for specific recommendations that may not exist anywhere near you.

 

I think the rib roof looks good

 

I have used 70's Chevy van (full size) and 70's Chevy Suburban on a few model A sedans, both ribbed with the Suburban having a wider spacing on the ribs (couple inches)

 

I used a Ford Fairmont roof when I did the last Model A pickup, the one before was a Volvo roof. I also used a 55Chevy wagon roof turned around backwards on a 34 Ford sedan. I like smooth no ribs.

 

thanks guys
