Gents, I'm looking for information on the roof panel insert moulding for my 1936 Super Eight Coupe. From what I can tell according to the parts book it was 2 pieces of 226003 (Moulding Roof Joint) . I have pictures taken by the previous owner when he blasted the original paint off and the insert appears to be one piece of ?? possibly folded over. When he painted the car he reused the original moulding and painted over it which is somewhat ugly. Here are my questions for those of you in the know.

1> It appears that the roof was originally painted steel with no covering, however those that I have seen appear to be covered with material. Which is correct?

2> I can't seem to find the moulding from any of the usual suppliers. What are others using at this seam ? Is there a solution readily available ?

3> Does anyone have detailed pictures of what I should expect to find under the moulding before I destroy what is there ?

Thanks for your assistance in advance
