Projects 26-27 T coupe to roadster conversion

Does anyone know of any builds where someone took a 26-7 coupe and made it into a roadster? I am in the market for a roadster body but I have found a coupe body local that has some roof damage. I like the idea of the "turtle deck" being integrated into the quarters for a smooth look on a roadster.

 

I have a roof for a coupe

 

Matt Seret did it several years ago and it turned out very well in my opinion. I'll look for a pic.

 

Started out like this...


Then changed to this...

 

Wasn't the Roach Rod originally a coupe? That lil car was bitchin.

How about the Andregg roadster ?

 

Thanks Anders

 

Thanks for the link and pics so far. I would probably end up keeping the doors functional but it's good to see one done.

I spent my morning reading the build thread for the Anderegg Tribute car, can you explain more about the filling in of the quarters? Maybe a before and after picture so I have an idea of what your goal was?

 

The Von Franco Anderegg/Golden Rod build.

 

Roach Rod...

 

Here is one of my projects, that unfortunately I could not finish, due some back and leg issues...

 

I prefer the coupe version. [emoji774]
