1928 72 hood frame

I am restoring a 1928 72 rumble seat coupe. I have the hood frame that sits behind the seats and some bits of wood cut to fit from windscreen backwards over doors.

I believe the struts above the doors are "clipped" to the crossmember above the screen when raised and unclipped and folded across the car on the timber behind the seats when lowered. the crossmember above the screen can then be rolled back and clipped to the cross member behind the seats. Leaving the hood still raised behind the seats.

I hope you can understand this.

My question is what do the various clips/brackets/ fittings look like at the front of the hood. Are they available. I would love to see some close pictures of how this all works.

Jay Astheimer restored his 1929 model 75 RS coupe and may be able to help you. The 28's and 29's are very similar. His e-mail is astheime@ptd.net.
