Projects Interesting project car?

Looking at picking this up as a fun project. Appears to be a model a frame, and the back half looks like a 27 roadster pickup body? But the cowl/door/windshield area is baffling me.

Any thoughts on what this is? I have an 8ba I have been working on that would probably be perfect. Does this look worth investing some time into or should I run away? Thanks for the input.

 

Model A frame and body made from '26-7 T coupe or sedan. Not too bad looking to me.

The cowl and firewall look to me like a cut down 26-27 T coupe.

 

Plenty of leg room.

 

Any thoughts on what type of windshield/windshield posts might work on this cowl? Not sure if 27 roadster posts would work or not. Not too keen on what is on there right now.

 

make sure it comes with a good title...if not..Run Forest Run....

 

Looks like a good start if the price is right. Agree on changing that windshield. If it was me, I would try to graft or fabricate something resembling 28-29 roadster cowl post tops, then use 28-29 stanchions and frame, modified if/as needed.

Here's a pic showing cowl post tops:

Thanks for the ideas, frame already has flathead mounts, would i need to box it for strength for a mild flathead?

 

What does the title say it is? Cool project.

 

Even with a mild flatty, I would box the frame.

 

And just think, it comes prepared to party! Bottle opener on the dash...

 

hope it has clean paperwork on it . . . .

if so , looks like a fun little project

 

Real 1970's Texas stuff there.

That looks like the makings of a fun low dollar car. It might be a good thing that it is in Texas rather than closer. I've got everything to go with what's there to make a nice little car out of it.

 

Do it.
