I bough one from L B and one from Oak Bows in Pa and Oak Bows is the best I have ever seen. Steam bent one piece solid oak.

Chuck I also purchased a rear bow from Oak Bows, Steam bent solid oak, outstanding workmanship. Unless they have changed hands in the last 2 years I would go with them, well worth the little difference in cost.

As for Brad's wood work, he takes major liberties compared to the originals with his door and cowl wood for '33-'34 roadster that results in having to make all sorts of modifications to the wood to properly mount the windshield posts. Having said the above, I am grateful that these people offer a starting point which beats starting from scratch when you lack reliable patterns. |
