    Here is how I solved the trunk drains on my1932 Ford 3w.cpe. Switched from rumble seat to trunk. The ends of the trunk gutters dumped into the trunk. I wanted all of the trunk to be usable and dry. I took some 1" square tubing and welded a 1/2" steel tube to it to fit a hose that drains under the back of the car. See photos.

    I added a small piece to allow the water in the channel to run out over the back. No tube to get stopped up
     
  3. Nice solution, been pondering the lack of drains on my roadster body. Thank you.

    In converting my rumble to deck lid,---When you add that cross piece with rubber stops, I welded in steel tube nipples on each side, before mounting to body, then used clear neoprene tubing to come out just under body & above the gas tank--Hidden from view, but drains good in the rain.

    Yes I did similar to a glass car I had. But this case the trunk drains ran thru the cross piece
