I am working on a 26-27 coupe body and it is missing the pieces above the door is this piece called the header rail? And if so or not what is it and where can they be bought? And thanks to the gentleman that pointed me in the right direction.

Pop over to the MTFCA site and ask them.

Take a look at the fordwood.com link I sent. You should be able to buy each piece. They are a little slow and some fitting will be needed. The drawings there will show the wood parts. The header goes over the windshield. The wood piece your are looking for is side rail for the top.

If it is the wood piece that runs from the windshield to the rear window area, it is called a siderail as shown above. If you are missing the metal piece that is riveted to the doorposts and screwed into the side rail that will be a problem. Model T Haven may have used ones. I don't know of anyone reproducing this piece. Good luck.
