The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Woodie roof material

This may not be of any interest to you as it does not have the textured look of the original material. I built a woodie from a '47 truck which turned out to be wider and longer than the available material. Since I just wanted to complete my project and have some fun with it I purchased a sheet of epdm rubber 'pond liner' on amazon. This was made by firestone and is guaranteed 50 years in the sun. Cost was 85.00 compared to 600.00 from a woodie supply business (and theirs was too small). With six helpers on a hot day it conformed extremely well and remains so. It is a dull black and about 3/32" thick.
