Curtains can certainly make a roadster more comfortable in cold weather. Here's some, what do you have?
they certainly can be a help but, be sure to store and clean properly or can make visibility very limited
Do you have anymore pictures of your '27 T RPU and its side curtains? I was wondering how to have functioning side curtains on my personal '27 T RPU, given they don't have door handles on the doors. Well done, by the way!
When my RPU was at the Rod Tops shop in Michigan I also had them do a set of side curtains along with the top.
They store behind rear seat and are fugly copies of OEM side curtain. The tub fogs up when I use them as I've no heater or demister however don't fog up if I leave driver's side off. The wind wings deflect most of the water and keep me dry.. I still need to finish the strip above front header panel as water gets in there. It's only been 15yrs+ now so I'll get around to it one day?
I’ve found when I had side curtains on my old tub rear and side vision was horrendous. Kept me warm in winter though. Will be doing some for my roadster once I get the roof sorted Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Heck,I never even had a top for my roadster,no top,no side curtains,no wipers,no heater and no brains. If I ever build another roadster I will incorporate all of the above. HRP
I got a complete set for the cost of shipping for my roadster but have yet to put them on. Not sure how getting in and out works with them on?
Bringing up an old thread here, but I would like to know this, too. How do you enter/exit with side curtains?????
There is a little opening by the door handle to allow you to open the door but you also have to unsnap all but the bottom to get in and out. It's not all that bad unless you need to exit in a hurry!
I made plexiglass side curtains and used wing wing holes in stanchions with pins to hold front and clecos (spelling) one on each side and worked super. Also say some mounted to roof and swung down to close off opening also plexiglass.
Jim Morris Lion's Dragstrip Hello, I was surprised to see these photos I found on a research project about Jim Morris. He had this cool Phaeton that was set up for some fast racing in the Street Roadster Class. A supercharged Buick motor powered the non-Ford Phaeton. It was a 1925 Buick Phaeton. Not only was the Buick Phaeton cool looking with the contrasting two tone paint job, it had custom Buick Skylark Wire Wheels to boot. A custom hot rod for daily driving and racing it at the drags. What can get better than that set up? Jnaki While the research continued, I came across the Buick Phaeton with the complete top and side curtains in place, still at Lion’s Dragstrip. The majority of Getty Images were taken during the post 1960 era and so this Buick Phaeton caught the eye of the pro photographer. Here is a different time period with bigger slicks and mags for the front. It also had a different paint scheme. As mean as it looked, the wire wheel look with the two tone paint, to me, was the original concept and looked better. The Buick Skylark Wire Wheels played a portion of our teenage hot rod years on the 58 Impala, as nice as it looked. A Buick bolt pattern for the Skylark Wire Wheels on a 58 Impala was a first of its kind in 1963. I just had to try and draw my version of the Jim Morris Buick Phaeton with and without the complete top, wire wheels, whitewall tires and all. Buick Skylark Wire Wheels with an open top.. Mag wheels with a full top and side curtains...
I've got side curtains for my 35 tub but hate the look of them I just wear a jacket and enjoy the breeze or rain
