Can i see some model a roadster or coupe pics? Trying to decide to decide bumpers or not and stock tail lights ??? Thanks

Depends on stance. Bumpers drop the car visually. At the front if you remove the bumper a spreader bar can help. full fendered car can look a bit bug eyed dependin on what lights and headlight bar you use.

 

Paul, your roadster looks good sitting in front of your shop. Nice windshield frame, too. Leave the roadster as it is, and just enjoy it.

 

That's pretty much my plan Nick Need tailights and maybe bumpers Hope all is well........

 

Always liked the look of 32 bumpers on an A....over A bumpers.
Chris's old A coupe:

 

That's a thought

 

32 bumpers using A brackets ?

 

Re-drill the A bracket holes narrower for the 32's bolts being closer together.

 

Another look.

 

Stockish, not sure the bumper adds much.

 

Where did all the roadster coupes come from?

 

My 31 AV8:

 

Paul, what are you planning to run for tail lights ? nick.

 

No bumpers, looks a lot cleaner, my avatar and Sport Coupe both run 39 taillights. Best picture I had on the computer of the taillights.

 

The problem with no rear bumper is the fenders look odd without being bobbed or adding a roll pan to close up the space

 

I agree with that, both of my coupes are running fiberglass rolled pans, fixes the cut off look and fills the gap. I'm running a 3" pan on the Sport Coupe.

 

Model A tail lamps, full bumper and MG tag light license bracket where spare used to live.


Full bumper and dropped headlight bar with modified bracket to retain the model A horn

 

Nice ride @j ripper

 

Paul did you chop the windshield? It looks awesome

 

Bought it from a good friend. Was chopped ( like 2") when I got it. Looks like a 60's frame. Light pitting in the chrome. But that's what I wanted exactly.. Thank you

 

Always liked @flatout51 A when it was full fendered

 

Not a roadster, but my 29 without bumpers, 46 ford taillights View attachment 59443

 

Sorry, it's not a roadster, my roadster has no fenders. The Model A bumpers were the first thing to go. I shortened the Model A taillight stalks to go better with the curve of the body and used '36 lights because they are cleaner (and I already had them).
It'll get a custom made nerf bar and maybe '39 taillights soon.
