    I recently acquired a 35 2 door sedan (chevy) I want to fill the roof. Does anyone know of a donar vehicle with similar curves int the roof that would fit the 2 door best---The sedan is nothing but a shell doors and fenders. all kind of rough but not much rust Thanks Rick.

    If you're talking about a 35 Chevrolet Std. 2door sedan, a friend of mine used the top from a 47 2nd-55 1st series 1/2 ton short Chevrolet Panel truck. Laid it down over the 35, marked it inside for the hole measurement, flipped it over and cut 6" out from the line, put it back on and trimmed it again and again to get the perfect fit. Then called in the Pro from Dover who finished the fitting and welding, then finished and primed it all.

    I cut down a '64 Chevy wagon for mine. ('35 Std.) Rectangular steel tubing underneath, slight crown side to side, frt to back. You could dance on it. I don't imagine there are a lot of those roof skins left though.
