Re: Woody top replacement
While I'm sure your grandpa wanted the best for his car, his top guy fell a bit short on the trim-out. I know an old hillbilly that did this one with a firestone rubber pond liner for the roof material and a couple of of RV gutters, followed up with a length of mild steel strap across the header. It's not correct by any means, but it appears that he at least made an attempt to have all 3 pieces come together in a workmanlike manner....(He should have countersunk those screws and used oval heads though).
