#1 Desperately seeking pics of canopy panel

Post by Ausjacko » Wed Jan 01, 2020 6:22 am

Hi All
The resto has started
I am chasing pics for the top metal panel in the roof frame in a '69 OTS. The piece I am interested in has the wooden bows attached to it (in theory in any case). Mine is, well, rusted to oblivion and I would like the pics to help re-create it.

Specifically, I am after the front and rear edges of the panel. I suspect one of these edges has a lip to it.
Any overall and general shots greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Jacko

I'll post some pics tomorrow, of a moderately rusted one we're about to send off for repair.

Delete to the pics, I have another roof that has the panel on it. I will take pics and post them up if it would help others.

All good. A much better outcome as the panel works about $2k and making one would be pretty tricky.

I have a friend who is magic with metal and he is making one using the second roof panel as a template. If ti comes in under $2k I am ahead.
