It seems to me, after reading your posts, that what you really enjoy is the challenge, and the bigger the challenge, the better. If that's the case, then go for it. Let us know how you make out. If it fails in the end, remember the words of Stroker McGurk. "If it don't go, chrome it"

If you decide to reupholster this car remove the original very carefully and save every piece, including the headliner and panels around the rear window. If you cover the original panels, trace the shape on a pattern material and save it. There is value there!

Five window coupe and four door sedan doors are NOT the same. The only similarity is from the belt line down and I'm not really sure about that either. The door tops are completely different as is the hinge location. Such differences also include the garnish moldings.

The 34 5 window has both metal and wood bows. There are two metal bows above the rear window, a light one about 5/8" wide and a heavier one about 1 1/8" or so. Both these bows have a composite tack strip attached. The heavier bow is positioned directly above the rear window, is attached on both...

I have the same issue with my 34 sedan. Ditto on what Tubman said!!

Frankly, don't waste your time with other vendors. Like 37 Coupe says, Brad's Woodshop, Friday Harbor, Washington 98250. If he doesn't have what you need in stock, he'll make it and it will be high quality.

Lots of good information on this site for this topic. Do a search. Of importance, be sure to cover the top of the top bows with cotton duck or heavy fabric. Staple to the side of the bows, not to the top. This will prevent squeaking or tapping of the chicken wire on the top bows. Also, when...

Brad's without a doubt. Top notch.

I would think that the roof contours and the bow spacing would be different between the 54 and the 55/56 so if that's the case it isn't a great price if it doesn't fit. If the original headliner is still in the car, I would remove it carefully and use it as a pattern.

Yes that 34 roadster is a real find. Not big on 34 sidemounts though. And what is on top of the engine in the 29 roadster pick up? No one seems to be answering.

As far as I know Bob (junior) is still carrying on the tradition. He's pretty much a one man show but certainly has the capabilities that his dad had along with specialty fixtures and profilers for turning out Sportsman body parts such as complete wood deck lids and the like.

Nice condensate pump. Now you need the steam engine and boiler to go with it!

I think you'll find that as you get older, your car gets quieter!!

I don't think anyone in 1935 torqued lug nuts. Maybe at the factory. Some say torque till they squeak. I would say in answer to your question. Tight

Nice to see that 33 earning it's keep!
