converting a 1949 ford sedan into a coupe

boyd

lol its up for grabs i posted it up to see where the market was at...and see what people though of my car

 

I think it would be more work than it is worth, if you can do it yourself that obviously helps.

 

When chopping, move the rear sedan roof section forward
for better proportion, then fill in space forward of decklid.

i seen that done but i was old it was easier to get a coupe top then going threw all that sheet metal... but i appreciate the info

 

Careful moving the back window forward on a coupe. It will ****not***stay in proportion. The coupe suffers from being to long
in the trunk to window area already.move the window ahead and you will end up with no roof.best you can do is lay the window forward. But hey....beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Nuf said.

nice car i like the flow of it

 

Nice proportions!! Got any more build pics, sectionnig included?

 

nice cars

 

That brown car has a great chop....I would not swap the roof...find another car and build it your way. I converted a coupe into a chopped tudor by swapping the roof and I have a totally intact coupe roof sitting in my shop that is ready to go if you decide to make a tudor into a coupe...PM me for details...

 

ohh no im not chopping the brown one.......
