Re: 29 standard top install
Been a bit but I am tackling the job now. I was fortunate to save the drip rails but the front and rear moundings were not savable. There was no chicken wire or batting under the covering. Installed in 1952. Evidence of marks on the bows tells me it did have the chicken wire when new. Have read that some coupes did not have this? I am doing the chicken wire, cotton batting and probably going to go with wire on welting for the front rear as I have tried to form new front and rear mountings on a different car but failed miserably.
