    Great news for unsuspecting Sports Coupe owners!

    They don't have to become coupesters... Great thread. Great craftsman.

  8. Nothing new here at the moment. The coupe is sitting in my friend's shop where he is busy working on his customers' projects. Another outtake from last year's photoshoot:

    awesome work. Sehr schön.
     
  10. I've said before and I'll say it again. This project and build quality is 1st class and I've looked the details over and over! Look forward to more updates.

    Could we get pics on his other work for clients? with permission of course.

    I think a slant window windshield from a 31 sedan would look better, more Like a factory first attempt at a 3window and/or proto-type 1932.
     
  14. Just an incredible build. It is hard to tell but it looks like the grill shell is just a bit higher than the cowl. Need to see a side shot. You have some talent for sure.

    That grille is cool but I'd like to see it photoshopped with a model A grille shell just to see what a 3 window model a would look like ftom Henry!! Lippy
     
  16. Well it's almost a year since this thread was busy.
    I'd love to see this Coupe in paint and finished, I like the nose.
    It's different for sure, and makes the car individual.
    This is no bellybutton, and an A shell, or 32 would totally ruin it, imho.

  17. @Lowtech, is it not painted yet?
    Do you know, if Raphael and the car has any plans of attending the ESRA Nats in Interlaken in July?

  18. Hello @Dannerr , sorry for the late reply. Yes the car has been painted in the meantime and it's basically finished. But I don't think Raphael will attend the ESRA Nats.

    P.S. I have to look for some current photos.

  20. Shame on me, but I only found these 2 phone pics. The 3W model A coupe sitting next to Raphael's board tracker he also built a while ago.
