There are some other guys who have covered the roof with a thin sheet of plastic to get a more prototypical-looking roof--in the old days, we just used orange shellac cut 50-50 with denatured alcohol.
I'd rather see accurately corrugated plastic sheet that matches the most typical car sides--and roofs, in the case of Budd. If you could find a sheet whose grooves were on the same pitch spacing as the corrugations, then widen out the "valleys" as needed for decent siding. Yeah, doing it by hand with dental tools sounds so tedious that I would be in my grave before I could get the first car done.

I am guessing that these materials are no longer available from Northeastern??? Otherwise there would be no great demand for them.... So is there enough demand to for someone to make a small production run of reproduction parts? There is a woodworker among us (let him remain nameless for the moment) who has the skill and possibly the tools to make such parts. He would probably need samples of the original parts to know what he is copying.... So how about it guys? How much demand is there for basic wood roof and floor stock for passenger cars?
