sheet metal body work on a model A roof

[drbs]

Could some one tell me what is the best way to fix or repair, or how do you replace the rounded roof right above the door  on the side on a 1929 coupe? On both sides of the car you can see pinholes through them. I can order the lower body panels, but I can not find these yet. Thank you, Dave

I don't believe anyone makes those panels. If you only need a piece,  seems like you could possibly use sedan pieces,  if you have to go past the door,  I imagine you would need coupe pieces.  Still aot of pieces of these laying around.  You should be able to find some donor pieces.

I don't know how different the Coupe sheet metal is from a Tudor Sedan, but Mike's A Ford-able Parts has them available for '29 Sedans PN A-47775-L & R. You might be able to modify them to fit.

Thank you! I will give them a call tomorrow. Do you know if there is any way to patch this?

A picture would really help. How bad is it?

  If the pin holes are in an area where you can get to them without a second layer of metal in the way, you can lightly sandblast the inside and apply two layers of fiberglass mat and sand the outside and apply filler over the surface.

 I have done this on fenders and a hood that looked like swiss cheese. They have held up for 10 years so far.
