I have no clue what to call this thing. Long story, but I started with a 30 Buick Cowl that started life as a Tug in the Air Force I believe. I planned on fabricating the rest of the body to run a bucket style roadster. After finding some more parts from a buddy (frame, axles and and motor and trans) he mentions he has a Model T coupe body. We make a deal for it. Since I had the Buick cowl,hood and grill, I figure someone special is in order... I have never been a fan of T cowls. The Buick has great body lines from grill through hood back to cowl. I have always been a Roadster fan, so I decide to use the rear body of the T for the back half. Currently it sits on a Model A Frame, front half is the 30 Buick and rear is Model T. I have the coupe doors, but I will be fabricating new narrower doors to fit the rest of the body. I plan to Z the frame to drop it down some, not going to be slammed. I just threw everything together today to get an idea of the look and snapped some pics with my phone at the shop. I will be working on this after hours and on the weekend, so I have no idea on time frame, I guess we shall see! I will keep this updated.
