I know a guy who tried something like this using a 36 ford roof. in the end what he did was took a buildable 26 T coupe body and destroyed it, and charged the owner a bundle to do it.
I'd say bjaro does not need any help. just pointing out a similar idea that did not work well due to a lack of talent and vision.
Love what your doing ! I would run a belly pan ,from the roof of a 1940s sedan or coupe to get that lanky body of your inside ! ( what a screamer ! ) any one close by who might have a free roof skin ?
Too bad you are so far away. You could see it in person May 4th and 5th in Dubuque. It is scheduled to be a feature car at Vintage Torquefest.
I had the pleasure of being in the race car garage at his house. The Calori coupe was in the driver garage. I believe the Chrisman coupe was down at his office at the time. A crazy experience I will likely never have again. I got invited to help return the 1923 Indy 500 winner to the race car garage after our show a couple years ago.
Here are a couple of pictures when we had the Calori coupe and the 23 Indy winner at the Iron Invasion
The mating of two old friends......thats a cool shot as at 1rst I did not notice the mirroring of the two. I take it and hope the other side is similar. and if yes I suppose it will take top shelf and being the bottom will require t******* around components may lessen repair to the rusted hood. The raw simplicity is fun to watch.

Thank you for posting your project and the progress of it . Also the searching for parts and the people you meet along the way stories. That adds to the project fun and history.
After the first couple of pages, I thought, this guy is nuttier than I am! But by page 9, I'm a believer. Wish we lived closer to each other. I'd be there every day!
