Guest dalestern Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Have a 1928 president that needs a top. Where does one get that done, or at least get the material from? My wood is fine, and the chicken wire is perfect. I need everything else. Thanks, DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1928fb Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 hi dale , how are you doing with your 28 president? i really liked that car. phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalestern Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hey Phil, I'm so sorry, I just now saw this message that you left 6 months ago. I hope that all is well up there in beautiful Oregon. The car is great, though I haven't touched it yet, but I start it almost every week, and have it well covered. I need to replace the top that blew off the car on the trip to Los Angeles. Any advice that you can give me as far as material, or a place here that I could trust to do it would be great.

Guest Good Old Days Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi Dale and Phil!Dale and I have met before about his car, I don't remember having met you Phil, I'm sorry!But I'm a 1928 FB owner as well, actually I got two! My fathers Norwegian FB and an all original American FB, both sedans also. It's always nice to meet other FB owners! BTW do you know where to find hub caps? Are they reproduced?Dale, people here in the business of upholstry work tell me you can still buy that material. I don't want to restore my last FB, because it's so damned original! But the roof worries me, driving it won't be so fine in the rain! When we transported the car to my place, we used a lot of duck tape to keep it from getting ripped of!It's nice to hear the car is still with you!Good luck with it!Carine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalestern Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hi Carine. I still have the photos of your car on my computer. They inspire me, and honestly they are the only reference I have of what my car should look like. Hope all is well. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
