More roof pictures

[37S2de]

All this work was done in early February, but this is the first time I've been able to attach pictures since this AACA forum went through its "upgrade" work.

 

I am am really pleased with the results and no more water raining into the car.  An added benefit is that the car smells a lot better now that the mouse nests are gone.

That looks really nice.  What was the original roof material?  It looks like canvas treated with something in the pictures.   if so it must be nasty stuff to have lasted that long!

I see some Hens teeth hanging on the wall.  Also what is that yellow car in the back round?

Hi all. I hope everyone is going to have a good time in York.  I can't make it.  

 

The new top material should be just like the original --- you just can't tell it because the original is so worn.  It's short-grain sedan decking material available from Restoration Specialties and Supply in Windber, PA.

 

I strayed from the fold a bit, Rex.  The yellow car is a '32 Chevrolet roadster.  I'm hoping to get the body off the frame next week and then the restoration should (emphasis on the "should") go fairly fast. 

 

I have another row of those hens teeth hanging above those pictured that you can't see.
