    It was a tudor but I used a Astro mini van roof flipped backwards.In other words the curve of the roof towards the windshield on the astro van , went towards the rear of the tudor sedan. The curve flowed.

    Im a dreamer when it comes to custom work. Has any one ever done a glass roof panel. I think it would be cool if a top like whats on the ford flex could be used.

    Check out the roof on a '59 Mercury wagon...the ribs are small 1/2" wide and indented...personally I like em better then say the '64 Chevy wagon tops lot's of people use with the ribs sticking up...
    I used the mercury top on a '31 chevy 2 dr and worked great!!
    Sorry i don't have a good pic of the top but I will post what I have

    A vega wagon fits great if you can find one.They have 49 inch 5 ribs. I used a olds wagon on mine worked great it is ribbed to 50 inch .. Also a 77 dodge power wagon 4 door is good to, no ribs.
