    on the web I see a prototype of a 31 Model A 3 window coupe. Does anyone know the measurements or how to build one? Does it use tudor sedan doors with shortened side panels and that would allow a less "thick" area in the side of the top? I have seen a 5 window with the quarter window filled and don't like it but do like the prototypes and would like to build one. Anyone with knowledge or info out there?
     
  2. Check out a Chevy, bet that Henry did too.

    There is one of those glass 3Windows here in town, just saw it at the local cruise a few hours ago. I think Gibbon made them, nice looking body, If that is what you want buy glass or copy it in steel. Bob

    Model A Coupe Looks better just as it is with five windows!

    There is a guy in here that built a metal 3 window coupe from those prototype photos. If I can find the link I will post it

    I think if it had a 32 front end it would be perfect. But the guy has killer craftsmanship skills

  11. To me a 3w 30/31 looks more like a plymouth than ford
