29 tudor roof filler doner car ideas

[old skool ray]

Does someone have some ideas about doner roofs for a 29 tudor a insert?

I wish you lived in Houston, I'd give you one!

My 29 Tudor came with a top from an S-10 blazer (not the full size) that had been cut out of a junkyard truck. It seems to fit perfectly and has ribs on the back section for strength. I think it would look sharp but I want a canvas snap-top instead for those 70 degree Houston winters.

Yeah... I remember once long long ago it got down in the 60's one winter! Man... that was bitter!!!

ive used roofs from mid 80's ford fairmont wagons and they seem to have the right look. i have one in the yard but i dont think you want to drive up to powell river and grab it do ya?

80's Malibu wagon, without the optional roof rack.
Has 5 ribs, the center being longer on the front, IIRC.

I've heard 80's minivans are the only way to go..

basically free, some ribbed and contoured, some smooth

turn it around and you've got the perfect curve into the D pillar!

want it cheap and no bodywork or welding? cover it in upholstry vinyl, glue in on there, then use snaps to attatch it..

now you've got a removable covered top for like $50

Sedan roofs

Chevy Astro Vans work well when turned around.

Am i the only one who loves the fact the old model a's/etc have an open roof? I feel when you weld a newer roof in it takes away from the feel of the old cars..

i am making my own skin for the sedan i am doing, but mine will have around 400 louvers in it, plus a removable louvered sun roof lol

Your A is fairly flat, I guess it's mostly a question of whether you want to see those ribs in it that are on van roofs. Personally, I think a smooth filled roof looks better, though it's probably trickier to get it smooth.
I'm on the hunt right now for a donor for my 34 Cadillac, dont want ribs but it's really a more rounded shape, problem is most newer cars are pretty flat...

80's Lincoln town car works for a smooth one when turned around but it is about 6" short in the front.
