    Does anyone have patterns or any other info they are willing to share on stock type cloth tops with side curtains?I'm building a 27 T roadster pick up.My wife can use patterns for any top for a bucket but we are not sure how they go together.This car will be driven a lot so the top is a must if I want her with me!She is a very talented stitcher with more than 40 years in the industry and another 10 plus home doing her first T interior for her brothers T bucket in 63 with her mom.My plans call for a full top along with a Tonnoe cover when the top is off

    Hi Leon,
    I don't have any patterns, but I do have a few pictures of side curtains from the internet.

    Leon,

    A good canvas shop that does marine work should be able to pattern it for you. Not much different than a bimini on a boat. Todd
