Loving the way your doing this build, I agree about the rear window leaving it, I think it flows very well![cl

The drip rail will line up just fine because I still have a lot of movement in the roof I will meet it in the middle but the front section for the roof is a little higher than the back were they meet so I will have to make 2 small pie cuts on the roof on each side to bring it contour.

I am looking for 1946-1948 Lincoln door buttons?

He makes re-pops. Not cheap but way cheaper than originals

Filling in the roof

46carnut · Dec 29, 2013

Filling in the roof now, the metal work has taught me a lot I am now able to understand what the metal wants to do, but I am now able to make it do what I want, this has been an awesome experience.

Here is some side views

That came together real nice! Looks like the pie cuts on the roof top worked great.

46carnut · Mar 26, 2014

Sorry Sam the roof was not pie cut it was slid back and overlapped by the back window lip. When I cut the back end of the roof off I left about 3 inches of metal above the window and the roof was slid back under the material. The lines look title.

looks great

When you first mentioned chopping the roof, I had my doubts.

No doubt you did a fine job and it looks great!
