    Anyone ever put a coupe body on a T frame? A friend of mine wants to do this but i didn't think it would look right.

    That could NEVER look right. The '32 is way wider. Plus, it would be blasphemy! Why would you? Even if it took 5 years of saving up, I'd do that to get the right frame under that body. But hey, I just like nice stuff.

    Wow. Nightmares be gone.

    I'm no Hot Rod genius and really just a newbie.

    I know this idea is just asinine.

    I hope we didn't scare him away, but I honestly don't wan't to see someone put the money and time into something and realize later it was not a wise investment.

    Not trying to run anyone off but his friend had a bad idea,,,now if he wanted to use a Deuce frame under a Model A or a T body that would be food for thought. HRP

    I think there is a lot of great experience here on the hamb and no one wants to see someone make a mistake.
