    I have a chance to buy a 29 sport coupe, in many pieces. Just wondering if anyone has left the top off. I have not found any top bows or top. If anyone has left the top, what all was done? Thanks Ron

    The doors are like a coupe with roll up windows. HRP

  4. They look goofy without a top. Even with the door window frame removed, the windshield stanchions look odd. It needs a top!

    That without a top kinder becomes a Coupester.
    Search on here as there are a couple of nice examples of such projects.
    IMHO no top is kinder tricky to get a good look.
    As mentioned a top finishes it and makes it an all weather hot rod...
    If you are really feeling lucky, you could find a coupe roof for it.
    I've always wondered why repro companies never did make a bolt on coupe roof for such situations.

    Well mine is a 30 but still will give you a shot with the top. I put new wood in mine when I built it and the wood and top aren't cheap but make the car for me. 001.JPG wood1.jpg wood2.jpg image1 - Copy.jpeg
