I have not been able to stumble across a usable rear window molding or a driver's door (deluxe) molding for my 34 3 Window Coupe. To those of you who have fabricated either of these moldings using similar components from a donor 4-door sedan or Tudor, are you able to provide any advice or words of wisdom based on your effort? Thank you.

Yes, Originals are hard to find nowadays. Steve's restorations in Portland OR, had repos made up for his repro bodies that he manufactured a number of years ago. Maybe he has some left. What I did years ago, in desperation, for 34 3-W door mouldings was to find a set of 34 2-dr deluxe fronts and a set of 34 4-dr sedan front door mouldings. Switched the 4dr mouldings to the opposite side/rear, cut off the back of the 2dr mouldings and trimmed, sectioned and relocated screw holes in the 4 dr pieces and fit/welded together. Luckily I borrowed some originals for patterns and everything turned out nice but a lot of work.

Steve's is no longer an option. I may try to find a fibreglass set to use as an interim measure. I have a full set of sedan moldings and one Tudor molding but am reluctant to chop these up, at this point.
