Here we go. I like the way the couple quarter window looks in this conversion. Now i have three options for where to put the style line that goes up behind the stock quarter window. 1.) Move it forward next to the coupe window (coupes don't have a style line here, so this would be "more...

I may need a meeting. A second set of quarter window garnishes just showed up on eBay at an exorbitant price of around half what the rest of the sellers are asking, and not much more than I paid for the first set. I bit. Now to decide how to fill the hole. :D

Correction: My quarter window garnishes are 28-29. They were sold as such, but marked 1930. 28-9s are the same both sides. 30-1 are R & L. Learn something new every day. I love the internet. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/model-a-ford-inside-window-moldings.1045847/ So, now I am...

I like the look. Especially when well executed like your coupe. After playing with my new coupe quarter windows, it occurs to me that maybe some kind of similar taper on the door window openings would make for a nice look. I need to think about it some more. As you say, its a lot of work. Unless...

Now that I think about it, I had to rearrange the stock cross member just to get a 305/200R4 in my chassis for the 39.

Oops, missed two 11:00s already.

Looks better than the stock cross member. Just curious, would the stock S10 cross not do the job?

That engine will make any car look good. [cl

It is so easy to get caught up in the minutia of body work. Every square inch has to be perfect. Over and over and over again... I end up not getting anything done. Or so it seems. Building the ratty 39 I set rules. Weld up the cracks, grind them close, leave the scars, so folks know what junk I...

HBD, sc

The coupe quarter window garnishes arrived today. This is going to work. :D [cl :D Pictures at 11:00. I gotta go shoot some pool.

This is what makes this site so great. [cl

I'm with smallfoot. And it ain't like its ugly or anything as is. [cl [cl

Its both. The best price I have found is to buy a A-pillar "frame", with all six pieces, for about $400, plus shipping from Texas. Repops are $107 per hinge. They are complete, cast bronze. Nice, but not in the cards. Making them will cost about $5 worth of steel and some time that I have no...

YEA!!! [cl [cl [cl Hopefully with full payment and appropriate apologies from the boat owner.

I like this idea, too. A big wedge. Likely more stable than just different thickness hockey pucks for body mounts. I remember paint jobs like that. My paint scheme so far is still multi-tone rust. Thank you, good Sir. You are my hero. I will be making the hinge parts that connect to the...

You have got the gears turning in my idea factory. Maybe a little off the top AND some sneaky "channeling", without cutting up the original sub-floor structure, which is solid. I could get body "slope" with different thickness or positioning of body mounts, or I could get creative with the frame...

I was thinking little pieces of tin and lots of roofing tar. Cheap and easy. I don't know how well these things do runoff. A separate roof would likely be helpful for that and the other reasons mentioned. I wish I had one. Sadly, my fair city would frown upon such a thing in my front yard.

I often slice and dice pics in PhotoChop then delete them If I am not happy with the result. That happened this time. Here is one from playing with chalk in the back yard. I tried moving the "hook" behind the window forward and back for different looks, as well as reducing the length of the...
