Hello I just purchased top and body wood kits from Sacramento Vintage ford and their are a couple of pieces i just cant figure out a location for. The header above the window is also a mystery. Does anyone one have any visuals or know a link that will help me with this. I searched tech to no avail. Thanks Dennis
Yes. There are diagrams and parts lists at Ford Wood's website here: http://www.fordwood.com/images/tudor28new.jpg Good luck and post some pics. I'm replacing some top parts next month.
What kind of 28/29 sedan are you working on? It makes a big difference. The Fordors are termite ridden like a Chevy. Less so with a Tudor, but still a problem. I bought my Tudor wood kit from Snyders. Some of the pieces need to whittled, sanded, and ground on to fit the car. It's not a correct fit out of the box.
I'm also doing mine Right now. I laid it all out first, on top of the original wood to make sure everything jived. Very simple. What is it you need to know? or, What do you need to see? I took a bunch of pics as usual. Just ask. B
After messing around with the wood kit I find that you are exactly right. I had to bring the header in 1/2 inch on each side and contour it as well. It is a sedan. Thanks for the pictures nine inch.
Pick up Model A Mechanics Volume II. I figured out some placement problems and missing parts in my car. This book has a section on A top wood. It's great if you're starting with a fairly complete car. They were taking out pieces I would've loved to have for my 29 Tudor.
What directiions are y'all going with your cars? I'm on a boxed stock frame, dropped 32 wide beam, 57 9", no chop/slice/whack.
