    Metal roof on a 1934 Dodge pickup. I want to fill the hole in the roof does anyone know what car or truck I could use that would work with compound curves. Thank you image.jpg

    Before you get honked on, a little introduction and more info, like where you are located, on your profile page will keep the hard core at bay. As for your ? a station wagon is probably your best bet, but make a couple of cardboard cutout profiles of your top and take them to a wrecking yard to use as a guide to the compound curve issue.

    I have a Walden Sped Shop insert in my 1934 Plymouth coupe and it fit perfect. Best money I ever paid. I tried insert out of a couple used cars but none fit as nice as the Walden insert.

    I was thinking tinted plexiglass or lucite over a nice wood frame for my 35 (early )
    dodge PU. Try to find a roof from something older than the 80s as newer is a lot thinner high carbon steel .

    Mine is factory fabric / wood insert , I think the next 1936 body update had full solid roof .
    ( I need both window moldings for the doors if any one has spares . )

    Here is the finished truck. I decided to go with steel roof and paint this is how it looks now. ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1455512832.410731.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1455512880.317077.jpg
