    :D

    I have been a 32 fellow most of my 50 + years.......and I have only seen 5 or 6 real B-400s and only 2 of those were rods......

    B-400's were about the lowest production numbers 32's made......
    and Vicky's.......only a little over 8000 of them.......

  7. since you are starting with a model A body , an A-400 is what you are attemping to create. ford made them one year only in 1931.

    Mine was a tudor , till I grafted on the vicky bustle. I think they look better than a real vicky 'cause the real ones look like somebody stole the visor.

  15. Yeah, but ya' don't have the slanted windshield posts that make the style fairly unique.

    The rear quarter window were shapes out of the pieces from the old qtr windows. And there is a piece on steel tubing stretching from the windshield area to the lower rear quarter windows. I did not do the work myself I bught the car as is.

    That's really cool! I was just thinking one chopped with a carson top would be cool. Looks like your using a late model convertible top, should give a nice shape.
