rebuilding top on '24-'25 DB Coupe

[dwollam]

Anyone out there done a top on a 24-25 DB coupe or sedan? I am doing a 25 business coupe for my son and have all the wood done but don't know what goes on top of that other than the outer top material. Is there padding and chicken wire like a Model A Ford? Any articles done on tops?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We did our '25 sedan a few years ago.

Wood framing. We replaced a small piece at the left rear.

Then chicken wire and next padding over the chicken wire and wood.

Padding and top material available from Restoration Services Supply in Pennsylvania.

Please feel free to call or e-mail if you need more info.

Good luck!!

Thanks! I was told the same thing by a local DB buddy. I was not sure if Dodges used the chicken wire.

Dave: All most all cars of that vintage used that method. I usually just order Model A top material it is the same and usualy you can get a kit from one of the Model A suppliers which contains every thing you need. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I did the top on my 27 DB 124, 29 Pontiac 629, 29 Model-A Coupe and 30 Model-A Coupe using Hampton Coach. They were fantastic <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />! All of them had chicken wire (as mentioned above).
