    Nice! May I ask what you plan to do about window winders? I've got a narrowed '38 Ford dash in my coupe and it interferes with the window winder. I hate to install power windows but I think I may need to, using the new switches that use a stock winder handle to keep the look right. Every power window kit I've seen appear to be too big to install in a T door, and one I loked at on EBAY says they won't fit anything older than a deuce because of the door thickness. Anyone using power windows in a closed T?

    Loving this. Any interior shots? I'm always looking to see how people do their floorboards with 26/27 T and 32 frame.

    Build thread anywhere?

  7. Couldn't find a buyer with functioning brain cells to finish my project, so I said fuck it, and tore it back apart to re-do it and hopefully finish it.-MIKE:eek::D

    I ADMIT IT !! :eek:I have installed power windows in my Coupe.
    Weather is not so good here in the UK !
    I did'nt get them from a Prius, though :rolleyes:, I had them lying around for twenty years in my garage. They were off a Mk1 Golf.
    I must say thay have worked very well for me, the swithes are just under the dash in the middle


    I know .......it's a HOT ROD, but I really feel the cold at my age.:(

    Lol.:D :D

    Anyone know of a 26/27 rear section that's good. Sheet metal or tin - I don't care - thinking about making a trailer for my coupe since I only have room for about one pair of extra underwear in my trunk. And I need to fold it just right to do that!

    Yeh, gets a little cool here in Canada too. I ended up using Model A window winders and I'm fine though.

    I'm building two...one is a stretched and widened 23 roadster and the other is 'regular'. Both will have SBC 350s. I'll post some photos later.

    PM Sent....
    I may have just what you need. I have both lh and rh rear sides from the rear side window down. Plus the rear window panel and an aftermarket trunk lid. Would be great for a trailer build. In fact....If you dont want them, I may consider doing it! Pics are in my pewter at home so I cant post any right now.

    I like this a lot ! Just bought a coupe body last week. Have a couple of projects in front of it, but yours has the look I like. How much came out of the top ?

    Here's mine in its current state.
