Sport Coupe Top Installation - HELP
First time installing a top on a 29 sport coupe; have a couple questions
1) Do rear cardboard filler panels that start flush with metal verticle bow #2 supprts get attached to the metal supports or just nailed on top to bow and bottom to betline? If yes, how? 2) Does rear beltlIne wood get covered inside, top and back with bow drill material so visible when rear windows is open. 3) Does top get covered front to back and side to side between the cardboard fillers before the top material, or is the underside of the top the interior top? Thank you |

all the answers for the cardboard fitting in the top is in the
"Technically Speaking " book volume 5 available from the Model A news or any Parts dealer the rest is in volume 5 of the "How to restore your Model A"book available from the Model A Ford club of America or any parts dealer tom |

I can't describe much without having a car in front of me but maybe these pics from 30 years ago will help.

Re: Sport Coupe Top Installation - HELP
Thanks for responses. Unfortunately the instructions leave a bit to be desired in terms of details and I do not have a finished one readily available to reference. I see in the second picture the cloth covers the back (outside) of the beltline wood down to where the trim piece would cover the bottom edge. So when the rear window is pulled up it is finished. Mine was cut short, so looks like I have some work to do this weekend.
The last picture shows the a bit of a gap between the filler and support; the same as mine so I am assuming the two were not glued or riveted together. Marco - do you recall if their was cloth covering the mid-section of the roof (visible from inside) and then the top or was the underside of the top the interior roof? Thanks again. Great looking interior work |

The front strip MAY not have been used on the '29 models since they don't a raised lip across the front like the '30-31 visors do. I've never pulled an original top from a '28-29 Sport Coupe.
