Thread: Top for my roadster

QUOTE=C9x]I see what you're saying.

I'm liking the 31' s trunk option a lot better than the rumble seat option in my 32.



Suspicions confirmed - a '32 top is so close to a '31 it is almost like Ole Henry planned it that way.

While I do have a trunk as well, and have removed the angled floor that Brookville so kindly furnished after I specified and bought a flat floor, there is no way that I could put my top in there. I added support steel to reduce the amout of body floppiness, added a large Optima battery and holder, built a double bulkhead ~ 6" between panels to contain my American Autowire electrical system. I will be able to get a folding chair, a six cooler and a bottle of sunscreen in there.

Which brings up my question to you - where is your battery and gas tank going to reside? My '31's gas tank is a '32 style, using a Dagel's type frame mod, but I don't see a tank on your car. Will they use up most of your trunk?
I attached photos(hope they come out) of my upolstered trunk before stripping out for paint - not a lot of room, especially when I add the battery.
