  1. Where are you located? I do not have any samples of the wood. I have collected a few pictures. I basically want to be able to put the top up and down, This is not a restoration more of a home built. My biggest concern is the front header bow. I have a set of hold downs and a new set of irons. If you can give me a ballpark estimate it would help. I've been laid off for Covid since March but I want to get this top done.

  2. I am looking for roadster top wood patterns or useable pieces for my 28 series 72. I do not have any wood to make patterns from. I understand some patterns were available from the Chrysler Museum but they said they no longer have that service. I've been looking for several years. Any recommendation of who has made or can make my bows will be appreciated. The picture attached is the type of hold down my top uses. The wood is not mine.

  3. I have a 28 Chrysler roadster that came with a perfect set of top irons but no wood pieces. I need at the least a header bow for the top of the windshield. Other bows would be nice too but the header is the most important. Does anyone have a set of plans they can share or know of someone that has made one? I've had no luck locally. Thanks.

  4. I have a friend restoring a 34 Plymouth PF convertible coupe. There appears to have been some sort of panel under the area where the top folds down just behind the seat. Do any of you have a picture of this piece? Its been chopped out and we have no idea how it looked. Also at the rear of the door bottom opening their appears to have been a structure of some type welded on the floor pan. Also cut out and missing. Any help appreciated. 

  5. Thanks for the response. I was underneath the other day and noticed most of the body bolts were already loose. They were replaced with regluar bolts with no lock washer. I'm glad to know the body only needs lifted. I'm redoing the front fenders, hood ledge and aprons. Didn't really want to pull the body off yet. Chuck

  6. Is there a plate rivited on the firewall or someplace? A lot of people did not know about the Id numbers on the dash plaque. Its possible they assigned the VIN for registration purposes. I would think the DMV could figure it out by the numbers and registration history. You probably want to straighten that out before you buy otherwise later registration could be a serious problem.
