Chevy/Reo?

Cut The Roof Off???

Now that I don't have any roadsters I'm thinking of cutting the top off this thing. Any opinions?

Done right, which you are quite capable of, I see no problem.
Simple open roadster?
Removable hardtop?
Full on convertible with a rag top? Some sports car tops lend themselves well to this idea.

PhotoShop time!

The roof makes the car in my opinion...

I'm kinda with Dr. Crank. But if you can make it removable without much appearance change....sure...

Around here we have to have shade. Way too hot in the sun.

It will look great whatever you do.

Say it ain't so......bobw..... Just do the next build as a roadster...
I love this ride the way it is, just me.. but I'm sure if you decide to
drop the top I'll probably still love it...[P[P

Just make it a removable top, best of both worlds. [cl

Top off, full roadster style, perfect for cruising the beaches in sunny Southern California. Build it like you want it, all your rides are first rate.[cl

You're the master, Bob. However you do it I know it'll look awesome.

How About This?






I decided to not remove the roof from the Reo. I'm getting distracted from my projects by another deal. For only a thousand bucks this '29 Dodge flat bed truck can be mine. I'd make it into a pick up. If I get it another roadster build would have to wait. Probably til I'm 80.
Deal or no deal?

I hope to still be building at 80.

This one looks pretty good from my vantage point. It would be fun to see what you do with it.

Is it home het

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

Deal, if you keep the fenders... too cool to scrap, assuming they're workable and fit the pictures in your head, which I'd like to see...

I have seen pictures of an international truck that was done with some of those early style wheels.. always thought it was a cool look... but then again.. we know Im off just a bit

If you be building, I be watching...[cl

 

[earthman]

ummmm.......i suggest a simple speedster for your open air needs Bob.
Would really like to see what you would do with a speedster build.

Get the Dodge and make it topless? ...or convertible?

 

[bob w]

Decision time: The Dodge truck is not happening. As much as I like it, I have two active projects and my other cars need work. I'm leaving this one for someone with less years and mileage under his belt. Less worn out body parts. More ambition It's a female dog getting old.

 

[Sam_Fear]

I don't know Bob, that 40 to 50 year old kid that buys it will probably just mess it all up. Turn it into a hot rod or something!

 

[bob w]

I sold it to finance the current projects.
