    All this is about sedans I suppose? Is the profile one that would also work on a '31 Coupe or is there some other commonly used fill panel to seek out? On the Jeep roof, the ribs would have to be "blended out" for the shorter coupe fill panel I suppose.

    Believe me, I'm no genius( not even sure about the spelling).
    I STUMBLED upon this only to have it work out.
    As far as a coupe goeslook at truck roofs and even compact cars.
    This I "winged" off my mother-in-laws compact Buick.

    Joe, let's see a pic or two of that, looks like a nice hot rod. I'm going to have to decide what I'm going to do on my 28 sedan. Thanks for the info, some of your best ideas you stumble on.

    Thx Mike, back to the Sedan issue. In other conversion another gentleman said he used a Volve wagon ...no ribs for a smooth roof which I thought was a great idea.
    In Fla. last winter saw a guy that used a Dodge Durango, he said off a '04.
    Again, using the Jeep I had to close the opening a couple of inches after trimming the patch, Made 3/4 x 3" strips and using a drinker made up the gap.
    Oh, and here is another pic of the Plymouth 0603180927_HDR.jpeg
