Hello all,
I'm new to the model T world. I have had model A's but I'm currently working on my dad's 27 Tudor T and had some questions for you all. I'm going to replace the top, top wood and the interior on his tudor and was wondering who you recommend for the parts I need. I've looked on the web and found a vender called ford wood. They offer the top wood kit for around 500 shipped and was wondering if anyone has used them? The interior is another item I need and was wondering were you guys get yours? I was thinking Snyders, any thoughts?
Thanks for the help

There's not a lot of body wood in a 26-27, other than the top. If you have any wood cutting skills you can make your own top wood and save a bundle. I did my '26 TuDor last winter and it turned out great.
I purchased the headliner and top material from Classtique Upholsterty, You'll find Liz very helpful and the prices are reasonable.

Thanks for the reply Mike. You did an awesome job on yours!!!
Thanks

I second the vote for Classtique upholstery. Their products are top-notch.
I will third that vote. Tom, the headliner goes in before the top wood goes on! Not at all like the Model A.
Here is a Classtique video showing Elizabeth installing a headliner on an "improved car" Tudor Sedan roof:

Thanks for the info on the headliner guys. How about the top wood? I know Mike made his but I don't think I'll be able to do that so I'm thinking of buying ours. Where have you guys got yours. Has anyone bought from Ford Wood? If so how is there quality?
Thanks again everyone. I do appreciate the help.
