Chet: I still have the wood exposed on my coupe so if you need more pictures let me know what parts you want to see. You probably remember that I posted quite a few pics of the top wood in the thread I mentioned above ("I need some advise") (spelling error mine). It's now on page 4 of the General Discussion.
Old Man: You remember right. 
Kim,
Many thanks, yes I know the thread very well and appreciate all the pictures you posted. I didn't suspect that there was this wood trim. In the picture below showing the side piece it looks like a quarter round wood molding. Is there any way to get a tracing of the molding's contour. Also the pieces that trim the back are they also this same type of wood trim ? If so is it one continues piece or is it a number of pieces glued together. What type of wood do you suspect it is ?
Old Man,
Great catch I would have never suspected a wood trim. This actually explains a lot. Any ideas on how it was originally finished ? Painted black I suspect ? In your post you also said " I remember the rain gutter was the last thing tacked on the sides" What did the rain gutter look like. Is Kim's photo accurate or was his top replaced at some point in the past ?
SteveG,
Thanks for starting the thread. I have been playing around with this car for almost ten years and I am always learning something new about it. The more I learn the more things on the list of stuff to fix some day.
Chet...
Is there any wood trim under the piece above the windshield ?
