Replacing the top on a '29 Fordor
Does anyone have a link or article on installing the top on a closed car?
I need to know if it is a two man job or not? |

Re: Replacing the top on a '29 Fordor
There is some very good stuff on Marco's site: abarnyard.com
The entire tutorial in on a tudor but a lot of it will still apply to a fordor.

Re: Replacing the top on a '29 Fordor
Just finished installing the top on a Jan 29 Briggs leatherback yesterday (Thurs). It came out better then I had expected with out any wrinkles or puckers. It was a two man job & the guy that helped me had done his earlier this year. The hardest part is being extremely careful when cutting outward on the rear seam you must be sure to cut along the wood tacking strip & be careful not to cut to far. I was not happy with the thinner padding now supplied with these kits. The guy that helped me ended up ordering two kits & we used the thicker padding which was supplied with these kits up to a month ago. The weather was on our side it was sunny & 85 degrees so the material stretched great. I still need to cut out the rear window & install the hidem & moldings. If you e-mail me I will send pictures &go into more detail. Good luck, Perry
