27 t coupe on Model A rails?

I saw the "Gone T" in latest Rolls and Pleats, and am thinking of going the way he did, and using A rails with a 26-27 T coupe just the same. Have any of you seen this done before or do you have any input on doing this? I realize that the A rails would have to be narrowed, so what would be the best way to go about this? He left the stock front A crossmember in and removed the center and rear members, and custom made his own, so the article reads. Anyone got pics of similiar setups? Thanks!!

 

John I have my T touring on a Model A frame and will soon be putting the T coupe I just got on one. Its not that hard. The rear mounts are almost the same as an A and then you just make some new tabs to mount the rest of the frame. I will scan my photos when I get a chance and post them....Danny

 

thanks man, I just hate T rails. they are ugly. Suicide front ends are cool and all (such as slazzens-he's a ruler)
but i like frame horns stickin out there.

 

I am using a 26 T roadster body on A rails and there was no narrowing needed.

you don't say? were you running it highboy or channeled?

 

I am working on a '27 T Coupe.
The car was started in the mid 50s by the dad of the current owner, but never finished.
It had a heavy channel over a Model A Frame which left next to no interior space, and the Radiator sat to high to match the cowl.
So we decided to build it as a Highboy on modified Deuce rails instead, ( no channel ).
The dad has seen it like that, and he likes it...

 

check my evil in NOR-TEX post.mines a former 26/27 T coupe with an A frame.if ya into it got some more picts of the chassis.i left stock rear crossmember but changed out the front for a 32 style.

 

The 28 A frame even has the holes to mount a T body.
Henry was covering his options as the A was way behind in getting into production.

My 26T coupe with 28-9 fenders was a practically a bolt down job.

I believe the T holes were in all A frames but maybe someone else can answer.

 

Heres the T touring I had in the past on A frame. I was able to use the stock rear mount on both piece then made these for the center and front mounts. No narrowing of the frame...Danny

 

you da man danny! thanks for the info all you guys!!
I'm stoked!
