Default Re: 29 CCPU Top Wood Type

Hi Russ:
I"m not replacing any pieces. My pickup is a street rod project I started from a street rod basket case 26 years ago. I have figured out a way to eliminate the nails in the rear quarter pieces that nail them to the roof wood and allow the hidem to run in a straight line across the top of the door and the modified rear quarter piece to the cab rear corner
The modifications would be to add some material to the door header so it ends up being a tiny bit proud of the rear quarter metal. Probably not more than 1/8". I'm not going to run gutters either so this will also help to keep some water from running inside the doors. I don't intend to be driving my street rod in the rain. ;o)
