For those who needs a roof skin for model A sedan...

I just finished the roof on my 31. I used the roof off of a 94 Cherokee( donated by my daughter) . I welded 3/4 x 3/4 tube to frame the old opening fos some strength. Sorry no pics yet.

Nice work.

I used an '86 Toyota minivan (no ribs) to fill my '28 tudor roof and plan to cover it with vinyl for a stock appearance.

Here's the thread with pictures:

use the stainless stips on the INSIDE my strips came from a S-10

 

I used an 83 LTD wagon roof in my 31 coupe. The 5 ribs & contour fit & looked great.
Cost 15 bucks at a local yard.

 

C'est fuckin cool ca esti tabarnak

 

hahaha! Un vrai quebecois sti!

 

I hope this will work on a 28-29 sedan, cause I just bought one so that I can scalp the top.

 

It's a great use of available material. There is really no more cut-off date on the HAMB no matter what the old timers or the early HAMB years may say, use what makes it work now... dual chamber MCs, disc brakes, MII clips, roof inserts from late model vehicles.... that's what hot rodder do.
What was traditional in the 1960s is gone, we are the builders today and we determine what is traditional in the 2000s. Remember:

I really like the roof insert! It's always great seeing ingenuity put to work! Good job!

 

I think it's a great idea; looks really neat and, won't "BOING" when you hit a bump. lol

 

I like the idea of using something like it, but I think the square ribs really look out of place.

Yeah let's post on the site about "traditional hot rods and customs" just to piss them off. Grow the fuck up already.
