Nice Job Chris!!

I am doing a 30 coupe as we speak, how warm was the roof material when you did the final tacking?

I had it in the sun for a couple of hours. It is winter but the sun was out and the outside temp was about 70 deg. You could put your hand on it and it felt very warm to the touch. You can tell when it is warm enough because the material will become very pliable and easy to stretch and it smoothes right out when pulled on.

Look up the link to the "Model A Barnyard" site I previously posted. This is very well done and has good information. The instructions on this site are for a Tudor but a lot of it will also apply to your car.

Keep the material rolled up and do not fold it until you are ready to install it.

The actual installation of the material is the easier part. It took me a LOT of time to do the moldings.

Press on but take your time.
