    Congrats! Why not chop it? I'd have 3or 3.5 inches out of it in a heartbeat!

    I vote for the stock height top - leave it the way Henry built it. Who says there aren't any more original unrestored or rebuilt Model 40's out there - you have a very nice collection. That selection of grills hanging on the garage wall is fantastic!
     
  5. Nice! Who did you use for a shipper?
     
  6. Was this from the Florida auction?

    Started cutting it apart to put floor in it. Seems like they never have good floors unless they're 4 doors lol!

    I know what you mean, what is it about those four doors - their floors seem to hold up. At the same stage as you with my 5 window - putting in another floor because the coupe one was badly rusted.
    Look forward to more pics of your build.

    The only thing that makes me mad about this post is I do not own one of those good looking work and cars
