Model A 1929 Coupe Roof Filler Panel

Anybody used one of these coupe roof filler panels.
Id like to know what they thought of the product and where they were purchased it from???

I want to do my model coupe roof sometime in the future.

Thanks.

 

Where's the link?

 

bump.
No link project not started yet!

 

what are "these coupe roof filler panels" that you are refering to? I would be interested in a filler panel for the 30 31 a's

 

I believe Waldons out of Cal. makes the best roof panels out there, 425.00 to 450.00, they look real and he ships quick.

 

New sheet metal from the steel yard for myself ! A vega wagon has ribbs in the back of the car , just right for a coop !

 

Yep found it ebay thanks. $475 Walden Speed Shop in Pomona CA.

It has just occured to me that some time back a guy did a coupe roof infill where he ran the rear T bar section right over the top of the roof upto the header panel.

Does anybody know the link for this thread.
Sorry to have to ask, but my computer runs so slow it is painful doing search stuff most days especially if there are lots of pic's attached.

These are from Howells sheetmetal, $195 ribbed for your pleasure and $170 for that sleek smooth fit. Fits 28-31 coupe.

 

I have one of Waldon roof panels on my HOT ROD fits great. PINCHER

 

Any thing else out there before I commit.

Big difference in cost between Waldens and Howell's???
I wonder why?

 

The ebay listing said they had sold 1 so you must be the guy!

 

I see the Howells one is a lot cheaper.....why??? I'm wondering if it doesn't fit as well, or if the Walden one is overpriced.

 

roof section from a 64 Cadillac has the perfect curve and fit to the roof line.

 

early 70's Maverick roof works great also, buddy put one on his 29 Ford Coupe.

 

If you go with the Howells plan on waiting. That dude is slow, order it from his egay site and you'll get it quicker.

 

My brother used a roof from a 67 Chevelle fordor, turned backwards, to fill his 28 Coupe.

 

Boy, now I got some options.
Thanks for your suggestions and ideas.

V8...how is the panel held in place. my son baught new metal and mig welded it in place. that way you chose the thicknes of metal. yea i know there's more then 1 way to skin a cat...POP.

 

There is plenty of options out there for you. If you want to go with a new popped peice then waldens is the way to go. If price is your concern, then a trip to your local junk yard (to cut the roof out of something) will be the best bet. What I would do is make a template of the curve(both ways) on your coupe,then make a template of the roof on your coupe. Take them to the junk yard. Use the curve template's to find one that fits the best (Minivan worked out great for me). Then take out the other template and cut out. It cost me a wopping 25 bucks and fit perfect.

 

Now you are talking, I really like that idea.

 

It's the curved that have to match the contuor or it just don't look right and if you don't have the right tools it could turn into a night mare real fast, chose wisely, I've heard it all, I know Rolf used a volvo wagon roof.
Like the others have said, you have options.

 

It used to be pretty common knowledge that the roof contours of a 65/66 mustang was a perfect match contour wise for a model A coupe.--Old news now, though---its as hard to find a 65/66 Mustang as it is to find a model A coupe!!!

 

Hi there I used one off a 80's Olds Omega Dennis

 

My buddy Jack has a nice lil' 65 he just finished awhile back, think he'd miss it

Thanks Brian, I am trying to put together a list of all the donor roofs, I'll add this to the list.

 

i used a 86 cutlass

 

Couldn't it be made with an english wheel?

 

Yeah, how'd that work for ya?

Folks, I'd like to see some more pictures, sorry about the Hijack, but, dang, everybody has an opinion of what looks good.

 

Checked into Walden for a model A sedan project. $1800.00 for a filler panel? Thought it was a misprint or i'm smoking the wrong stuff.

 

No problem, no high jack just all good info.
