Side curtains for 36 woodie
Here is what the side curtains I had made locally here look like. I had them made out of natural canvas figuring that's what they were back in the day. I had to guess how they were constructed. Not planning on driving in the rain anyways! I'm wondering why Lebaron Bonney wanted $2400 for a set(they used convertible top material I suspect which is much more expensive than canvas)! I'm spending about $500 plus materials. Clear section was supposed to be bigger but the worker spoke mostly Spanish. The curtains have brass tracks and are stored in tracks up under the top. Rear curtain is permanently attached at the top and has 18 snaps to hold it. Rear can also be stored under the top. I had to make on of the straight brass tracks myself and luckily had all the curved ones.

Don't know if this photos helps? It shows the inside of a 1936 Ford Woody. |

Re: Side curtains for 36 woodie
Finally after studying the above picture I've figured out how the 36 curtains were made.
They have a metal piece with the window sandwiched in between. I'll have to scrap my first attempt which I wasn't very excited about anyway! Oh well I'll still be less than 1/3 of the $2700 LB wanted half of which I would have lost! https://flic.kr/p/2eKwCXf https://fordbarn.com/forum/picture.p...ictureid=41694

Re: Side curtains for 36 woodie
Here is the top and bottom sheet metal piece I had made. Took a lot of thinking to design that one for me. Curtain will be covered with a little canvas and mostly clear vinyl. The metal piece in the picture will be riveted to the top and bottom. Have to throw away the ones I already had made.
