Default Is / was there a kit to repair 1935 -36 trunk rain gutters (trunk model) ???

Is / was there a kit to repair 1935 -36 trunk rain gutters in a non rumble. A couple people have offered up an old kit possibly (dennis carpenter) But the side pieces are curved for a rumble seat and are different. Were the trunk pieces ever offered? Or do they have to be fabbed or taken from a donor?

Thanks Kevin

I have done this twice.Around 15 + ago those gutter pieces were reproduced for 33-34.I was able to get one and adapt to my '35 roadster.We had to make the corner radius.No longer made.Then in 8 yrs ago I converted my 36 coupe to a trunk.I was lucky enough to find on EBAY a upper rear coupe trunk section.The seller cut it out and sent it me.The curve is slightly different but my metal man made it work.You will see the bottom edge on the body is lipped over .We gently pried it out and then fitted the gutter to that.

I wonder if I can but the 35-36 rumble and mix match with the 33-34 parts or just have someone fab it. Thanks for the info

Danny loves to show off his Baileigh equipment. I've seen some of his work on the metal meet forum. He can get overworked sometimes and take a lot of time to get the stuff out to folks so he may be a bit like Paul Bradley floor pans in that respect but I think he comes through eventually. Just be prepared to wait.

Kevin, Pascoe is still in business and a friend of mine in Oregon got his kit and installed it. I think the kit is around $800
