Well I have scattered my build over many threads but the guys on this thread have been friendly so here are two pictures of my new top. I used the rear window from a 1929 Sport Coupe so I would have better visibility and I opted for the expanded side windows that give very good side visibility. I still need some work on the interior but that will have to wait until my next summer job can finance that final task. The back window and the side windows are light weight Lexan. The rear window can swing up into the interior and fasten to tabs on the inside of the roof as is done in the stock Model A so that in the summer I can remove the side curtains and swing in the rear window and have a breezy ride without dropping the top OR the top can be lowered. I still need to add the four rubber bumpers on the rear deck to keep the rear window from scratching the paint when the top is down. There are several details yet to finish but adding the top seems like a major step to me and while it is not perfect it meets the condition of "looking good from ten feet away!"

The top came out great, Don!!!! On most the side curtains look like an afterthought, your's look very well planned out and are definitely a part of the whole top design! Very nicely done!!!!!

Thanks Dave!

I used 5/16" steel rod for frames of the side curtains and I had to drill 5/16" holes in the tops of the doors so we will see how long the 'glass holds up. I have to give credit to "Corky's Upholstery" in Midlothian Va for stitching up the top without a pattern and fitting the side windows. The rear and side windows are light weight Lexan.

The top and side curtains will work good on those chilly spring days where you just can't wait to take it for a drive.Nice work.

I agree! The top look great. Good Job Professor!!! 8-)
