I have to replace just the top ribs and the rear cross frame and 4 ribs on the top the rest of the wood on the top is in good shape.. the car doesn't have a roof currently so I am hoping just this isn't a nightmare. Any ideas how big a job this is going to be? Will I have to take the top sides and the rest of the top wood out then put it back together? or can it be fit back in ? The seats are out of it now as well. I bought the replacement pieces from Fordwood. Am I better off just gluing or epoxying the rear cross frame back together? It's cracked pretty bad, the best thing to me looks like replacement, but this is my first restoration.
