Model A Ford Roof tacks

[Bustingear]

Anyone know where to get the tacks to hold down the top material on a model a Coupe. I am all set for the top molding trim nails but unclear on what is best to use fro the grosgrain material. Dont want the tacks to rust

Lowes, Home Depot, or your favorite Model-A vendor.

A ¾" tack will be adequate as your top mouldings will also be clamping the material down. A coated tack will likely keep from rusting however none of them will last forever.
