What is the ringlet hole for. I thought it was to hold down the covetable roof. But cannot work out how it work.

This:

Find a great source for the bow drill fabric. Out of Spokane. Very reasonable price.



Also sourced a SEM paint that is spot on locally at Soto price paint shop.

:thankyouyellow: My name is Nicole. Yes, I will definitely be using new fabric. Still sanding the old glue/fabric that has hardened over the last 5 decades. I was shocked that my wood pieces as well as the metal is in superb condition! No significant rust or rot. Can only assume this is the original...

But have been advised that in some models theirs was wrapped separately.

Like this:

What adhesive did you use for this?


Also, is the wood wrapped separately or one piece over metal and wood?

This is how is was prior to removing the fabric.

Turning the last pages of restoration journey.

Interior, hood frame restoration and interior install as well as some final aesthetic touches and she is DONE!

New to this forum but getting ready to restore my hood frame prior to having a local shop install the top.

Great thread!

Thank you!
