Just in case anyone else is ever looking for it, the tread width on the Coker tires is listed on their website. The 7.5x16 Firestone tires have a 4.9 inch tread width and a 7.4 section width (which definitions read to be about the widest part).
I like your transition on the cowl from closed car to a roadster, doing what one needs to do to get an affordable end result is the name of the game........correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I saw the very cowl your using advertised but assumed it was a commercial type that Ford provided for specialty bodies like fire trucks, vending trucks etc. at any rate an excellent save & well done!
Been fiddling around; got the front steel wheels on (just transferred the Tesla snow tires over for now) and mounted the headlights. Tried to mount the headlights in the location as if there was a bar going across in front of the grille, to put them about where they be if there was a cross bar. Looked at a whole lot of pictures to come to the conclusion that's where I preferred them. Oh, and I couldn't help popping on the wheel trim since they were just laying next to my work bench; pure silly vanity.
Thanks! Someone started it for me a long time ago, so it was maybe easier... I don't know, because then a tree fell on it ha. I spent a lot of time with the hammer and dolly/gas welder and it's still far from perfect ha
