Re: 1929 Roadster Pickup Top Bows

The stuff that I am digging out of the bow channels seems like it is VERY hard rubber. Strangely, the corners, in the area of the latches, has some kind of plywood. Evidently, when the top was...

Re: 1929 Roadster Pickup Top Bows

All good advice! I knew wood was the best approach but hoped someone else may have an equally good idea, with less work. I do have a friend who works on wooden boats, never thought of him. He will...

1929 Roadster Pickup Top Bows

Does anybody have a good way to re-rejuvenate the tack areas, especially on the front bow? There must be some kind of "schmutz" or caulk that can be squeezed into the frame that will hold tacks or...

Re: MARC National meets

Looking back! We went through the Ford plant and I know they were not building the 1956 or the 1959 models. I remember them 'slamming' the big flat hood so it had to be either '57 or '58. I hope...
