31 tudor roof

need to start looking for a roof for my sedan.looking for something with ribs or maybe one with a sun roof.any ideals

 

van or station wagon

 

Sun roof = 1986

Tough to pull off a filled sedan roof and not look streetroddish. Flamedabones is one of the few, the blower and tire smoke kinda distract you!

 

another vote against the sunroof. Just my 2 cents....

 

Cut the roof off an old mercury wagon for my 29 tudor.
Haven't got it in yet but looks like it will work great.
No sunroof
Asking for trouble

 

I vote T tops

 

Howell sheetmetal has new steel panels to fill the roof of your sedan... a smooth roof panel is 200 dollars and a panel with ribs is 225 dollars.... I have bought some door skins from them and they fit and work very well......

 

Or a full on Targa top.

 

Fellow hambers have said the roof inserts from howells don't work.
The tubs and patch panels I got from them worked out very nicely for me though

 

the sun roof thing was from an ideal i saw one time this vw had a pull back top that looked like it would go right in place .i dont know if this is a targa top but just pull it back and go something different.thought of going back cloth?what is the problem with howells need to check them out.Alot of ideals

 

I got the original top kit from Mac's... Got it installed and looks decent... the rain gutters and moldings **** putting them on...

 

Sliding ragtop would be cool. Think I've seen it done in old sedan. Not sure but Street Beat was a good source for sliding ragtop parts, etc.. Think they are still producing them. Probably a bus unit would be really close.

 

Sliding ragtop is different than a Vaurnet wearing sunroof owner.

 

Please, no sun roof. Don't care if its a Street Rod, Street Freak, Hot Rod or one of those rodent rods. Just say no to sunroof's

 

I used a ribbed '62 Old wagon roof in a '29 I built. I think all early 60's GM wagons are the same.

 

Talk to Chad Anderson 408.213.9618 ragtop. 35" x 65" works great for that installation.. Streetbeat not so good since the changing of the guard.

 

There was another thread on this topic a while back. I have searched but can not find it. Anyone know what I am talking about?

 

The roof inserts they sell are flat, no compound, just rolled.

 

mid 80's suberban

 

80's dodge aries station wagon. not overly ribbed. nice big piece with a slight arc!!

 

That's my plan for my '30 Tudor. Looks of the original soft top but the added bonus of opening up.

 

Hows this?
found it on here one day and liked it

 

86' Dodge Caravan on my 30' worked real nice.

 

i just did my 30 this week. used a 93 grand cherokee, turned it around bavkwards and it fit great.

 

rich,how about a slide back? it would be different.so many choices.this site is great.every time i ask i get good ideals to think about.thanks to all

 

von,the wood looks good didnt think about the wood,vw just pulls back and its open but i have another ideal now.thanks
