1931 Tudor panel under visor question *pictures*

[BashawT]

I found this piece for under the visor in Grandpa's garage that had been missing. I have a brand new header that I am planning on installing soon and I noticed today that the panel does not fit the contour of the wood header.

Upon further inspection I noticed the panel has been beat up quite a bit and maybe bent in the past for some reason.

Can anyone tell me if this thing needs some hammering? Perhaps someone has a picture of a correct one that I can use for reference. Is the panel suppose to fit the contour of the header? I will take a picture of it against the header tomorrow if that helps.

Thanks!

On my 31 Tudor, I believe it's flat and it tacks to the header across the top.

On the 29 Tudor we did the header supplied had a lot of excess wood and needed the top part sanded down to meet the header panel. Your panel is not to beat up and could easily be straightened out.

Thanks for responding to my post. I've taken some pictures of the panel with the header to give you guys a better understanding of my question. When I received the car the top was not finished so I do not have pictures to use as reference so any pictures would be greatly appreciated. Les Andrew's book does not have a very good picture of this piece going in place.

The face of the panel can be pushed upward closer to the top edge of the header, however, I am wondering if it is meant to be flush with the header or not.

Thanks again

it gets pushed up closer to the edge of the wood and welting goes along the top between that and the visor.. usually there is a small gap of wood showing but the welting covers it
