Can anyone show how the wood header mounts in the car? finally got the doors and trunk straightened out on my coupe but now I am trying to figure out how the wood header goes in the car. Any pictures would be great. I have a small L shaped piece of metal running from one side to the other with several holes in both sides. The top and visor was molded in so Im afraid I'm going to have to cut the visor back out so I can install the header but hopefully someone will tell me I'm wrong.
Thanks,
Eric

Thanks thats what I needed to see, I have to cut the visor off mine to get it out and cut out the old bondo that is on the top insert, the previous owner cut out the strip were the wood mounts in and made the roof solid and welded the visor on. Any thoughts on what could be used to replace the strip on the sides and front where the original top mounts?
