Default Re: Seeking advice for my 1928 Sport Coupe Cabriolet

Jon: In addition to what Dean wrote, This would be a good car to learn to do body work on. Reproduction sheet metal, especially front fenders does not fit well and needs to be reworked anyway. After you pull the body off the frame, cut the rotted areas off those front quarter panels back to good metal and make patches to weld in. Very time consuming, but rewarding. Gas or wire feed weld. you choose. One piece you may be missing is the belt rail that goes from the door latches around the back of the top. No one makes repros of those that I know of. Hydum welt can be used in a pinch. What you have is very restoreable, and will give you many hours of fulfilling work.
Have fun
