    I was wondering if anyone knows a vendor that produces Tonneau Covers for Model A Ford Roadsters I have a 30' . I have found Kits for T's and Dueces but haven't had luck with my A'.

    Your probably better to get an upholsterer to make you one. A one off anything is always nicer than the off the shelf that every other ******s got.

    Thanks.

    I'm just checking my options. I was thinking I'd make one myself, there's even a write up how to do floating around. Its the time, I'd rather spend the time on the body than the cover.

    Bumpin this one up again, looking to get one made for my '31, kinda wondering what prices are going to be to get one custom made. I'd try myself, but I know how it would turn out, so i'll be paying a professional!

    Both of you guys are in states with a lot of boats! Find a place that advertises that they do boat canvas and upholstery. They could make you a tonneau pretty quickly. If you can make a cloth template of what you want and get your material then take it to them and explain what your looking for. This would be a pretty easy job compared to what they are used to working on and they might look forward to doing it.

    Let them make it to fit the car....they are pros at that instead of your attempt at a template
