Early Ford Top Fastener Installation
 

Im looking for books, diagrams, instruction on how to properly install the fasteners required to attach tops and side curtains on Early Ford V8 cars...

I have all.parts and install tools but am looking for tutorial for correct install.

Any help appreciated

This is a set of the Lebaron Bonney installation instructions. I don't think you'll find details on installing the snap fasteners though.

Glenn,


Thanks for having the foresight to have saved those videos. I was a loyal customer of LeBaron Bonney for more than 50 years and installed their tops and upholstery myself using their paper directions, Ford archive photos, and engineering drawings, I still have another couple sets of their great workmanship to install in cars that I have not done previously so those videos will likely teach me something new.

GearHeadDiver,


What year and model open cars are you seeking fastener information for? They don't have that much in common across the '30s, especially when it comes to the lower attachment of the rear window curtain on roadsters and cabriolets.
