    Sure you don't want to revise the description? 283/4speed trans? Looks like an automatic transmission from the pics.

    I'm not a huge T fan but I really like what you've done so far. I take it you took verticle sections of the doors to cover the 4dr to 2dr conversion, sweet. How much longer is the new front door compared to the 4dr version. I would think one could jockey those dimensions and get any door width you wanted, right?
    Keep us up to date I'm really digging this one.

    Just thought of something. Are you stuck on the Model A grille shell? I would really like to see a T shell on the front of that, keeping the T theme front to back. If there are radiator issues I understand but consider it. No charge for the advice.:rolleyes::D
