Roadster interior trim panel differences?

[mcgarrett]

I have a '30 Deluxe Roadster and the car didn't have the upholstered trim panels in rumble seat compartment when I bought it. My friend has a '29 Standard Roadster and the rumble seat compartment has all the upholstered panels in place. My question is - are the upholstered trim panels in the rumble seat area the same for '29 & '30 or are they different? Are they close enough that I could use them for a pattern to make some for my car? I would appreciate any comments from the experts here on the Barn.

The A-41664-* and A41665-* (41664, 41664-AR, 41664-B, & 41664-C) Deck Side Cardboard are different in that the cardboard originally was a pressed fiberboard with a textured color difference. The similarities in shape are close enough that you can use your friend's 1929 cardboard as a template to cut your own.

Thank you for your feedback, Brent. That's exactly the information I needed. I'm not all that concerned with being exactly factory correct as much as I would just like to have those panels in place to make it look finished.
