Can you make '27 T coupe into a nice roadster?

Don't know whether to keep this a coupe or cut it up into a roadster BUT if you have any pic's of a coupe to roadster rebirth please post them or send me a link where I can find some info. I realize this frame has to go........................ Thanks

 

dont please....

 

Yes you can.... they actually look really nice too, lot's of room. They don't look bad at all!!!

 

NO, A coupe is a coupe and a roadster is a roadster. T roadsters are easy to find still why not sell the coupe and get what you want instead of cutting up a good car? There was one that had roadster doors and cowl that looked cool but in my opinion it will never look right just cutting the roof off that.

 

Don't cut the roof off. If you really want a roadster, sell that body and buy a roadster. They aren't any harder to find than a coupe that still has it's doors with it.

 

I tried it once, about 50 years ago. After what it turned out to be, I say "DON'T DO IT". The thing about a "T"coupe is that you can leave the top insert off and it's almost an open car. I've seen them with "snap-on" tops that looked pretty kool. That looks like a pretty solid body. In this day and age, we really shouldn't be f*cking up old tin unless there's a very GOOD reason. Just my 2 cents.

 

There are a lotta cut up coupes out there,,some look good others don't.

Like the others have said,,don't cut up a good body there is probably some one that will trade with you. HRP

 

Here's probably the most famous one.

 

The "was a coupe" from Beatnik has been one of my favorite hot rods since I first saw it in the '60's

 

I wouldn't cut it up , the coupe is too cool to do that to . I would find a roadster .

 

Somebody post a pic of the Roach Rod. Not a 27 but same principal.

 

This it, the only pic I could find!

 

Beatnik, I can appreciate the history of that coupe/roadster but I think it could be reproduced today in gl*** form. Looks nice but with no doors kinda looks gl***y!

 

Rodders Journal #13(?) had Franco's on the cover, really nice car. it is the one above with 2 pics.

I am doing it with an older one.

 

It's all a matter of personal taste, but I never really liked the Anderegg coupe-into-roadster...I agree with those who say get a real roadster, they are still out there, or chop the coupe.

 

don't cut it

 

Sure Tman! Here you go...Zee "Roach Rod"!!!

 

It's your car do what you want, but that is a nice body for cutting up. I would sell or trade it for what you want. As for me I would leave it alone.

 

Don't cut the roof off, please, the coupe '27 is beatiful car

 

Just like others have already said, trade it for a roadster if that's what you want. That coupe body is pretty clean.

 

My Favorite...

 

You would have to throw a wrench into it! Got pic's with top on, just for ****s and grins!

 

I know for sure that you can make a '27 T coupe into a nice coupe...

 

Now you did it. You have everyone spun up. Hell yah!!!!!!

 

PM sent

 

I'd have to agree that cutting up a solid find wouldn't be right... if it were damaged in some way, well...

If you need to cut, may I suggest this:



...love to see it built. Good luck with the project, and Happy New Year!

 

Hey polock, I like that alot, got a front end pic?

 

"Can you make '27 T coupe into a nice roadster?"
I think so....but ours was already butchered up, so that made the decision very easy, but I wouldve cut up a coupe because of what we are doing with the tribute roadster.

That one looks solid enough to save as a coupe to me. I woudn't do it myself. Except for a chop, if you really can't live without playing with it.

I've got a secret man crush on him....the guy kills!
