    Why wouldn't you use a 28-29 top?

    30/31 top can be made to work but sticks out like a sore thumb.

    28/29 Coupe top will bolt right on but good luck finding one. The last one I found the guy wanted practically more than a whole coupe body is worth and he got it.

    If I were you I would embrace the sport coupeness and build the sport coupe with original top. Not a lot of those built as neat traditional hot rods.
