The little buggy- my '27 project. It's half bondo and improper welds, but I'm trying to make something of this abandoned project. And it is a real '27 T roadster body on a Model A frame.

      Thanks dude. It is a cool little car...and finally roadworthy.

      Do you still have this? I'd love to see more photos of it.

      That's exactly what my car wants to be when it grows up. I like it...

      Here's another picture. I removed the little teeny exhaust headers because I was inhaling too much when driving. The car is very cool, but honestly is a cobbled heap. It was an abandoned project that was planned poorly, and I made use of what I had with my focus mainly on proportions. Someday I would like to get a nice '26 or '27 body and build a similar style car, again on an A frame, but with better pieces and planning. [​IMG]

      The stance on that T is real nice! I am working on a 27 on A rails...would love to know more about what if anything was done with your frame....doesnt appear to be too modified

      The frame was actually quite butchered when I go the project. One thing is for sure, it was z-d way too much in the rear and the front crossmember was all messed up. You can totally use the A frame without much of a z in the rear, if any. Just do spring behind axle on the rear. If you saw my car up close you would see how cobbled the frame is. I really would have done it different if I had started with a bare original frame. Also, as I am doing a Model A Coupe on it's original frame now, I wish I would have boxed it with the box plates sitting a little inside instead of flush. It leaves better space for running fluid lines and it looks better. Welds look better also. Good luck on your car! I am seriously searching for another '26-'27 body to build again!
