    Yeah it kinda does. The body looks like gl***, but I wanna find out more about the front end suspension. Looks to be spring behind axle, but I'd love to see more photos of it.

    I'd do a front end like the Rolling Bones or Doane Spencer roadster. Spring behind axle, and put the grille in between the spring and axle.

    Good way to get it lower without dropping the axle.

    So while I wait for my body I'm looking at an original model A frame being held for me from a local seller who also is holding an original 27 Model T Roadster bill of sale for me. I've been on the NJ DMV site and it looks as if they only need a bill of sale and a vin # to register a cl***ic car...is this correct? Is the 27 T bill of sale the only thing I am going to need to register and insure my car? This gets over my head depending on who I talk to.

    Build your car exactly like the black one, and you will have a slick HOT ROD!

    I like those early Ts also. I have a 26 rpu that must have started life as a hot rod in the late 40s as it has a Bonneville speed week car p*** 1950 sticker on the wind shield. It may not have always been an rpu and its been changed over time.Your taste in 26-27 Ts will produce a cool example. JW :)
