The eccentricity of crafting replacement parts to fit and appear original is the enjoyment of bringing these old masterpieces back to life. It can present tedious and frustrating challenges for the less than enthusiastic installer. Experience and repetition are great teachers. For those that have scratched their heads for hours, remember that these vehicles were hand built by men in overalls with no special skills or tools. If they did it a hundred years ago, you can do it today…👍

Although there have been printed articles on this task, yours is the first video and the ONLY place I've seen the attachment of the gutters. Well done. I've added this video to the VIDEOS portion of the MAFCA website.

Thank you verry much.

I really like your sincerity and overall presentation, yet I want to see your subscribers climb as they realize the sincere integrity your videos present on this subject matter.

This is a great build series. I really like your thorough approach as you proceed with each step. Nice job!

Great to see more progress on the Tudor, it's looking awesome!

that is friggen nice! I honestly thought " who would buy this mess?" and then when you showed the final results I had to say " that is friggen nice!"..... I know...... I said it twice

Very good job! I learned a lot....

Very interesting to see the kind of work and craftsmanship involved in restoring these beautiful old cars. Thanks for making this video!

That looks fantastic!

Thank you for sharing the top install process. Its enough to give a good overview.

Great work and filmmaking as always! I need to re-cover my tudor's roof, and have been dreading the task of straightening my bumpy and kinked rear trim moulding. Never really liked the idea of replacing with hidem, but you've made it look quite good. Will certainly have to give it a second thought.. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put out these videos.

Very nice intricate work. The blue and black look very nice.

Very informative thanks

Well done. That is a perfect finish.

Your top turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing how you did it.

Beautiful work!

I've been waiting for this one as my Tudor needs a new roof. Thanks

Nice clean work. Great job.

Great job One! You do great works! I would be proud of a car with that top!

Looks nice bud good job

Very nice ,,, thanks for info ,,,, mines ok for now but may have to do one in future

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, for me they are a great help.

Thanks for all your help ....

Looks beautiful.

Thanks for these videos. Beautiful automobile's. I'll be looking forward to the other videos on this beautiful vehicle. Thanks, ( and I'm subbed now for few weeks)

Great job. Good to see someone not tripping over themselves working. Also you sound like the "lock picking lawyer" on KZread

I also have been restoring a '30 Tudor. I just put some primer on the body. Your video's are great, especially your work on the fenders!

Thank you.

That turned out nice.

Nice Work ! Thanks Straight Ahead ✌😎

Looks great !!!

Great job!!

Looks great. I'm sure the silicone sealant is more than adequate for sealing this installation. I've been using Lexel sealant the last couple of years. I believe it bonds to surfaces better than most sealants. Also, the unused portion seems to last indefinitely if the tube is stored in a refrigerator.

Tank you for this video

Brother, what would be a good way to bend and form drip rails and front and back moudlings from the top of model a tudor? Am at that point now. Thank you so much! David

Thanks for the video. Now I'm starting to get brave enough to install my rain gutters. When I bought the car the roof had been installed with the metal strip in place and had been sealed as well. I have attempted to install the rain gutters a couple of times but backed away. did not want to bruise my nice paint job. the metal strip seems awful close to the painted area . how far away from the painted area should this metal strips be.

super impressive. How was a metal roof not easier for Ford??

Great video, one question.....So no staples/tacks are used on the cross wood pieces right? I didn't see any. but want to make sure.

Yep. That is correct.

I have not found any curved rain gutters at Snyder’s, Bratton’s, Mike’s, etc. anyone have a technique to bend the straight gutters being sold now?

Great video! How’s the Chevy Classic running?

I am doing this to a stagecoach roof. The old trim was destroyed, and I see this uses the same kind. What is the vinyl strip edging called? Do you know where one might purchase it? Thanks!

Cool. That is called Hide-m welt. most any upholstery supplier should have it.

How difficult was it to remove the side trim above the door? Seems like it could be easily damaged. Thanks for showing us how you do it. Looks great!

The wood behind them was gone, so the gutters just pulled off easily. But yes, they are delicate. Most of the time they have to be replaced after removing.

With the sealer properly applied, they are.

Why didn't you remove the front top eyebrow metal and tack the fabric into the header wood and then install the front metal piece?
