I believe it looks like insulation/sound deadener.

Very creative, thanks for posting the pictures

how did you bend and shape the metal moldings without crimping them. I forcefully nailed as I bent the base down but the cap refuses to stay in its slot. Any help? Barnyard does not go into any detail on this they just say apply the molding like you just snap it on and your done.

barryt · 07-02-2014, 08:02 AM

Are all the moldings painted black or body color?

You're going to love the way the accoustishield cuts the noise. I just got done doing my interior with it and wow it's a different car. More pleasant to drive.

I used the original side mouldings which were in very bad shape. The front and back moldings are the two piece steel ones that are sold by LeBaron Bonney. They come in straight lengths and you have to shape them. They say these are a little difficult to deal with and they are right. Anyway, it is finished and I do not think I want to do another one, at least not for a while.

Now. I can move on to putting stuff together.

I'm just starting to do mine. You did a GREAT JOB! Looks GREAT!

Hi Chris, I need some tips on bending the trim pieces that go along the front and rear ends of the fabric. Did you have to tackle this job? I have new trim pieces.
Thanks, Gus

Jwilli · 04-12-2015, 07:59 AM

Chris, that is a beautiful job. I am getting ready to put a new top on a 31 tudor. Hope mine looks even close to yours. Thanks for posting those great pictures.

Chris nice job!! What did you use for padding, I used three wool blankets and looks a little fuller and my grandma had the chicken wire :-) I can bounce a quarter off the top
