    I used Volvo 144 roof for my coupe. Fits like a glove. [​IMG]

    I am using the front half of a 67.5 chevy suburban roof turned around, on my 30 tudor the curved part that would be above the windshield on the burb is put at the back of the roof,I grabbed the the roof spars aswell fits nice and there are no ribs in it and the metal is super thick.

    Glad I can help, Shiny. [​IMG]

    My vote is on the Volvo 144 and the Ford roofs marshall is using. I think anything with a subtle crown will do it, though.

    Hopefully we can load up a ferry and come up this summer to your neck of the woods for some garage crawls and a few beers !
