    Finish my motor, and welded the frame up. rear suspension is in and roof insert is tacked.got the heads done, new bronze guides, screw in studs, 1.6 exhaust hardened seats, and plained. don't know what to do with the part above the visor, inbetween the visor and the roof. it's a '28. what about where the rear quarters meet the body, a strip and weld it? is there a belt moulding?

  6. The strip above the sunvisor is about 1 inch square with the top edge leaning out about 1/4 inch more than the bottom edge. Then the two corners droop down to a point. ( does that make sense ) Not sure what you mean about the rear quarter belt moulding. That should all line up correctly unless you have the rear section of a 30 A . Maybe you have a leather back coupe ,
    ( thats a coupe where the roof covering goes all the way down past the rear window towards the trunk ) If all the leather is removed you might be missing a strip. Take a look at ebay item 160011247744 . Quit a few pics that might help you out.

    yeah it is a leather back. but i fabbed the rear window and panel. now there is a 1/2" space from the quarter panel to the body, and it shows wood, should i just leave it? any idea's for air filter?
     
  9. If you leave that 1/2 inch out you will never be 100% happy with the end result.
