I see that Snyder's sells an exact copy of the rain gutters for 30-31 coupes. I bent the curved section by clamping it to the inside inner diameter of a Model A wheel and heating it with a torch. Nice fit.

Does the part that fits the body flare as it curves over the quarter window?

The sheet metal that gets welded to the body is .165" taller than the out side rail, so it does have an appearance of flaring wider even though it is the same height on the entire length.
