Most kits and/or shops use convertible top material and have the inside of the top fabric showing. This one I did more like original which included a sheet of matching fabric tacked at the rear bow and header, and overlapping the side panels approximately 5". Then a strip of thin cotton wadding (about 10" wide?) was centered over the center bow running side to side. I similar strip (a little narrower) was placed across the front.

The front strip MAY not have been used on the '29 models since they don't a raised lip across the front like the '30-31 visors do. I've never pulled an original top from a '28-29 Sport Coupe.
