Re: rumble seat conversion, 29 coupe
Ford had the procedures which are reprinted in one of the "How to Restore" volumes. They give you a list of all the parts you will need.
The repro curved inner panel is not going to fit properly so you will need to adapt it. The front edge will need pan head screws. The rumble seat riser panel must have the re-enforcements solidly installed. They brace the rumble stops.
If you have an original lid then you do NOT want to use reproduction rumble hinges. The will not fit without significant trouble. The repro appears to be a direct casting that shrinks in every direction. The originals fit the original rumble lid like a glove.
The repro lower panel and the repro lids are straight across the bottom. They will tend to hit on the corners. Check your gaps or you are more likely to chip the paint in the corners. Take time at the shows and look at the rear panels and you will see the chip of paint I talk about. Now that you are aware of them you will always see them.
