The Ford Barn

I recently acquired a '30 Tudor. Its rough, been sitting in the woods for many years. The top is gone and the windshield has fallen out of place. All the wood has rotten away, so I can't tell what used to be there, or how it worked? Could someone explain or provide pictures of what the windshield header or top/front is supposed to look like? Would this be included in a body wood kit or a top wood kit?
Thanks

The '30 tudor has a wooden header (which is bolted to the cab metal) to which the metal sun visor is nailed. I believe it comes in most top wood kits ($350-$400), but it (wooden header) can be purchased by itself for around $90. "How to Restore Your Model A" (Vol 3 I think) has good illustrations, etc.
