Convertible top restoration.
 

We’re working on a ‘38 ford deluxe coupe convertible and we’re working on the top. Does anyone know someone that does the wooden bows? Also can anyone recommend a video or something that can walk us through putting the top together?
Thanks
Scott

pm sent to op.


IMHO Brad Brown's (Friday Harbor WA) top bow and header quality is better (and prices higher and service slower) than Oak Bows.


If you do contact Oak Bows be considerate, Richard lives part time in California and normally does not answer his phone but will almost always return a call within 2-3 days.

I got both bows from OAK BOWS; the front one was good; the rear one was to tall, I have the original one, so I used it to measure and cot it down and re-drilled the holes, that was several years ago; we also restored a 38 Convertible Coupe....J Parsons, Normantown, WVa
