Model A Leatherback ?

Hi all, Not sure if this is the correct place to ask questionson the board but hoping someone may know the answer to my question. Can the rear section of a four door sedan be sectioned on a four door leatherback body ? Really wanting to build a chopped rod and not sure how to procede with a leatherback, so if anyone has suggestions i am all ears.

Thanks in advance.

 

Yes!! How good are your wood working skills as most of the roof section is a wooden structure and covered with sheet metal. Then the leather.

The Old Tinbasher

 

Why replace it with metal?

I give you Exhibit "A", one of the coolest cars on the HAMB

That thing is bitchin'!

 

Tman I don't even have to click on that link to know which one your talking about. That car Rules!!

 

Yeah..no doubt about it,,that sucker Rules

 

That car is gorgeous, made me rethink leatherbacks.

 

Yeah, it really is an amazing car. Got me thinking brown instead of black for my Tudor.

 

TINBASHER, when you say YES do you meen you can chop the wood & tin down along with the rest of the roof or that you can replace it with a steel sedan section. This car has no woodf left and i do not believe i have the tin, any suggestions. I am a metal fabricator and have not done much with shapping wood so i will try and rebuild as much as i can with metal.

TMAN, that is a sick ride. Do you know of any pictures of a Leatherback Sedan that has been chopped and redone with leather.

Thanks, Guy's

 

Hey Guy's , here's a picture of the car i am in question about. Just want alot of advice before i begin.

You mean a piece of fordor like this. Looks like a good fit to me. Window frame mouldings look the same too.

 

Yes that is what i was asking about, thank you. So i guess now i try and find a rear section.
