I ran across this site and found very good information on Tudor Roof Installation.

"The Model A Ford Barnyard"

http://www.abarnyard.com

On the Home Page, Click on "Begin Tour".
On the second Page under "Tour Stops", Click on "The Workshop".
On the next page, Click on "Installing a Closed Car Roof".

This is a very good detailed instruction with good illustrations for installing a roof on a '28 Tudor. My '30 is almost the same so just about everything applied.

I think one of the main things is to have the cover warm when you are ready to do the stretching and tacking. I was able to move my body out in the sun and really get everything well warmed up before I started the stretching and tacking. I used LeBaron-Bonney's "Kit" which was very good except their instructions leave a little to be desired. The Model A Ford Barnyard site really helped a lot.

Do not get in a hurry, it just takes time.
