Need pictures of wood used on rear deck of '36 Ford Roadster.

[gnolnor]

I am restoring an all steel '36 Ford Roadster. I need some
help in finding out what the wood pieces look like for a place of attachment of the top material to the top of the rear deck. I have added a picture of the rear deck.
Thank you for your help in advance.

There is no wood there. The top attaches to a tack strip on the outside of the surround you pictured

The top is nailed to a tack strip on the outside of the rear deck flange. Sorry but I couldn't find a picture of the actual tack strip. It is a steel channel about 3/4" wide and maybe 3/16" thick.

You can see part of it in these pictures if you zoom in.

This is for a 34 but I assume pretty close for a 36.
Not mine as I copied it for somewhere.

I have a 47 convertible which is missing the steel channel and tack strip. Does anyone knows where to get the metal channel.

[deuce_roadster]

The metal channel is usually spot welded to the body, don't know of any replacement but the material the goes inside the channel that the staples go into has a modern equivalent that any place that installs convertible tops would either have or be able to get hold of.
