Re: Does any Vendor have an entire top 'kit'

I just did the job with a kit from Mac's. Everything included but the wire. Nice stuff and went well. Patience is the key, and best done when it's warm.... nicer fit.
You'll want the visor installed...

Re: Aviation gas in Model A

Purdy, I agree....years ago, we had "Clark Super 100" stations all over Minnesota. All they sold was 100 octane leaded gasoline. I could tell the difference right away when I put it in a Cushman...

(32-34) is not far...

Re: '30 Coupe roof insert

What is the best method to get the hidem to lay flat when going around the rear corners on a coupe, or late sedan? Do you slice the inside edge, cut pie slices out of
inside edge?

Re: 1931 Radiator Shell Upper Paint

Both of my maroon '31's have had black top inserts in the radiator shell. I don't think either one had been redone.

air systems. Some will say they've...

Re: New model "A" owner needs some help!

Re: Closed Car Top Material...
