Roof wood 1926 fordoor

Post by Tekirgis » Tue Oct 03, 2023 5:53 pm

I have a 1926 fordoor that I purchased recently that is in bad shape and is missing roof wood and also the belt line at the back.So I don’t know exactly how to make the pieces since they are not there for a pattern.. I know that I can buy these from a couple of sources but would prefer to make myself. Does anyone know if there are drawings available?

I don't have dimensions, but these may help if you haven't already seen them:

When did I do that?

The roof profile that you sent is different from my car in that yours is 1.5” thick and what I have is just 1” . Also yours has a rounded relief edge on the outside bottom where the body panels would tack on . Mine does not have that detail. Does having that detail allow for better rain protection? I am about to tackle the roof and wanting to do it correctly. My car is a 1926 fordoor.
Any advice is appreciated
