If you have a 60-A or 60-B (both had fully upholstered tops), the sheetmetal above the doors was made from a rolled piece of metal which you can duplicate from plain sheet metal if you are patient.I made one for my car and only had to make one weld to shape it properly.The other sheet metal under the top was also made from plain sheet metal at the factory from bending - no dies were used to stamp .
Good luck

: I have a Fordoor Briggs in a restoration process; my question is- how do I determine if it is a '28-2960-A or 60-B, or a '29 60-C, or a '28-29 155-B, 165-B, or 170-A? I also need the sheet metal that goes over the doors but under the top dressing - any suggestions on where to search for the replacement (original or reproduction)?
