So I am getting close to fitting the top and top trim. It's pretty far in the process to ask such a thing but how are things supposed to fit in this front corner? There's a little gap that i question how that's sealed up. I can't find a specific picture of how it was before removing the header...

Ive been restoring this 28' Tudor my father inlaw gave us. Ive been at it almost 3 years now. I did almost everything except had Randy Gross do my brakes and model a medic refurbished the steering arms. My sons think it's really fun. I'm getting close to driving the car, if the engine holds...

I got lucky with mine. I just used a pry bar and the engine fell right into place. I just started one bolt on the front of the engine, before prying on the mount in the rear.

my hood has a dent in that spot and the radiator has been repaired in the past. I assume because of the same issue

Yes. $200 each

I just bought a modern set from Ken Davis Model A if that is what you are looking for. He's probably $100 cheaper than the major vendors, and they all about the same. http://www.kendavismodela.com/Shocks.html

I sent them back, one day before I found out Rootlieb is having problems sourcing parts. I might wait to see if they are able to produce the 28/29 running boards again.
