Default Re: 27 coupe roof

Original T roof is wood and fabric and is convex, both front to rear and side to side; not flat.

I have seen more than a few T's with an actual "flat" replacement roof job and they end up looking concave and not nice.

Many ways to build a new roof structure and topping; depending on your overall plan for the car; accurate restoration, driver, hot rod, etc.

Here is a coupe with re-wooded top frame showing the convex shape to help shield off the water to prevent pooling on the top cover.
