    Model A Roof

     



    Does anyone know if anyone makes a steel replacment roof for a model A coupe? This seems like a very common mod done, yet there is none out there. Also if anyone knows of a good donor roof (what car). Thanks!

    I just did this on my coupe a couple of months ago. I used the front half of a 1986 Toyota van roof turned around backwards. The contour is a perfect match for the Model-A coupe roof.

    Lot of folks used a station wagon roof as the filler, but theres a company out in Texas that makes a very nice ribbed roof filler

    30 Roof

     



    How did the roof project work out for you? I checked that website and noticed that they were for the 28-29 models. I noticed an s-10 the other day and it had a ribbed roof that looked about right. Can you send pictures or tell us how you can weld the roof in and get it straight. Thanks
