Top wood measurements

Post by SamInStL » Thu Nov 03, 2022 11:55 am

I bought a set of top bows for a 23 Roadster at Hershey that looked beautiful (and I paid PREMIUM price for them) but when I got home the wood is 3 or 4 inches too long. I've tried to get the measurements from from others with similar cars but the wood is wrapped making it difficult to feel where the wood stops and the metal begins. Can anyone give me the proper length of the wood to the point where it enters the metal? Measurements for all three woods would be appreciated.
