5 window top

[wayne munro]

I just got a 28 business coupe body, a lot of rust and missing parts. I would like to make it into a 5 window coupe.
Does anyone make replacement panels to make a top, or does anyone have a coupe body that is rusted off up to the door handles? If there is nothing available I will buy a wood kit and it will be a canvas top coupe once again. Thank you for any info you may have.

The Special Coupe was based on the same basic body as the Sport & Business Coupes but the tops were sheet metal fastened to wood framing then covered with top materials on certain rear and top surfaces. It's hard to find the sheet metal but I'm sure there is some out there somewhere. The Standard metal back coupe has differences in the body but it might be a candidate if it's close enough.

PS I found this flea pay add that illustrates what the side portions of the special coups top look like. There is a rear back light portion that fastens between the two quarter windows. The wood for the top is extensive in order to be the structure that holds it all together. They use a belt molding very much like the Sport and Business coupes around the whole rear belt.
