    You have a leatherback? Sure you can. Just hunt up a sedan rear window section to weld into the middle, and a bit of fabrication around the beltline to make it look like it belongs.

    It looks that way. You can see the grooves for the Special Coupe moldings across the back of the roof and over the doors where the drip rails are on a standard coupe on B***' car

    thats a Sport Coupe, not a Special Coupe.

    Keep them Special Coupes guys, they look killer when done up nicely.
     
  10. ****, your right. The leatherback leather follows the body curves. Day dreaming over here.

    I wasn't sure how I felt about Special Coupes when I first got my Model A. Figured I could tear off the top and have a standard coupe, but not that's not the case without a couple cans of Bondo to fill the recesses for the top moldings. Kind of glad I left it though, you just don't see them too often. The leatherbacks have a way of growing on you.
