1930 Coupe Exploded Diagram
 

Hi,

I'm considering a purchase of a coupe body that is in pieces and pretty rough metal wise. I am looking for a diagram of sorts to help me identify body parts so I know what is missing or what to look for as a replacement patch panel. The body is all apart with no wood so a bit of a puzzle for a rookie like me. In particular the roof area inner edges I guess I would call it. Looks like they are fairly complex and had some tacks or small nails thru the metal to hold on a roof panel. Are patch panels available to cut those out and replace?

Thanks for any help

Patch panels are available. Get a couple free catalogs from suppliers to see what's out there.

I realize this thread is ancient, but relevant to my current situation. I bought a 1930 Coupe in a basket, literally. Almost every part that could be taken apart on this car, is. And nothing has been labelled or tagged. Whoever did it is long gone. I've been mocking the body up and fitting parts solely by eyeballing everything. Yet I still lave boxes of pieces unidentified, and to compound the issue, one of the previous owners gathered multiples of some parts. Like a huge model kit, it would be great to have some instructions to go with. And exploded view would be very helpful at this point!

Nothing like you are seeking is commercially available in printed form. I probably have pictures of previous projects that I could show if I knew exactly what you were questioning. Also, if you can mention your general location, someone may have a Coupe near you where you can visit and take pictures/notes.
