Victoria header

[rer_239]

Looks like I need a new wooden header (over windshield) for a '31 Victoria. Does classic wood still make them? Anybody have a good phone number for them?
TIA

They have a website and it shows stock status …

Ooops…doesn’t seem to open!! Snyder’s and Bert’s handles their wood.

Hey thanks

OK now that I found a new wooden header, how much of a job is it to change it out?
TIA
Dick

Pretty involved. The front cover is tack welded on the top side corners. Cutting wheel then weld back
Otherwise a bunch of screws

Fortunately, the header in my Victoria does not need replacement. However, looking at the way the header lays in the car, it appears that it was originally put in front the front. Without doing some metal chopping, I do not see a way to get the header out or in from inside the car.

Yes from the front…or top when header cover is removed…which has to be.

What should I use to coat the new header?
TIA

Just coat it with clear polyurethane spray…Ace Hdwe rattle can.
It’ll be there longer than us …even if young (which I’m not!)
