what is the wood used in the Special Coupe?

Does anyone have signs of any sources for this belt rail trim molding?

For clarification, my vehicle, that needs a roof replacement, is a 1929 Special Coupe not a Sport Coupe — my roof does not retract (go down) like a Sport Coupe. Thanks Loumo, originator of a request for replacing a roof on a Special Coupe. And, a big thanks to those members who contributed...

Is it possible to get reprints of Lebaron Boney's instructions for Special Coupe roof installation. Will be happy to pay for the cost of reproduction and mailing fees. They sure would be a big help to me in redoing my top. Thanks loumo. loumo1@comcast.net

Bravo!! This gives me encouragement and means there is still hope for me.

Your car looks fine to me just as it is. I think you should enjoy your car and not focus on this fender issue. No one will notice this minor fender difference so you should put it out of your mind and concentrate on more important things on your A that may need attention. Since I live on the...

Cowl panel for my 1929 roadster from Brookville fit perfectly with no modification required.

I would be careful not to use any metal objects in trying to relieve the dent. It is not clear in your picture what the dented area is. I would try using two pieces of wood on either side of the dent that are mated to the finished contour you are trying to achieve and then using a "C" clamp to...

Brent, For someone 6 foot 2 inches and getting ready for upholstery on my 1929 roadster, please describe the best route to take to get the most comfortable seating. Thanks Loumo

Thanks Brent. We need to encourage this kind of talent and interest which truly comes from the love of this kind of work. And what I see of your work Brent, you are a fine example of this. Keep it up.

It is nice to see a young guy like yourself really take hold of this kind of work and do such a great job. Your intense conscientious attitude and great interest makes this happen and you are to be highly commended. BUT, take it kindly from and older guy with three sons much older than you, be...
