I am renovating a 1938 Ruby and have made good progress on brakes, suspension, engine and am now attending to the bodywork.
However I am struggling with how to replace the rear fixed fabric panel of the roof.
Basically, how can I remove the wooden frame that is inset into the metal roof? I understand that the new fabric needs to be wrapped over the outer edge of the wooden frame before the metal frame and runners are fitted on top of it.
I have managed to remove the sliding roof section and the metal frame and runners but there is no obvious method of removing any of the wood frame.
Thanks in advance for any advice
