    Found a clean 29 complete sport coupe body. I own a 29 rpu. Are the body lines and backhalfs from the door line back of a coupster different than a roadster? I've looked at a bunch of pics but it's hard to tell online. Ive been searching for a roadster back half and I'm coming up short.

    Probably not gonna match up but it's worth some advice

    i think the sport coupe has a shorter deck lid

  2. Bodylines are similiar. Quarter panels are longer on the roadster. doors are shorter. The distance between the decklid to the back of the seat is greater on a roadster compared to the coupster. The car in my avatar was a sport coupe at one time.

  4. If done right a coupster can look pretty good. Amazing how much more room there is in a coupster compared to a real roadster

    I'd just build a sport coupe.... way cooler than a coupster

    Deck lids are the same its the panel above the deck lid that is longer as well as the actual quarter panels
