    Quick, cheap driver. It will be modified little by little without having to be off the road for more than a day or two at a time.

    Very nice! A 28-29 Model A sport coupe is one of the best looking Fords ever made ( in my humble opinion!!) Please keep it a sport coupe and don't go the "coupester" route!!!!!

    Nice Banger Beater...Looks like a Pile O Fun...I always wonder why they did't make Sport Coupes with Fold Down Tops...They look great top down or I mean off too...:D

    No plans for a coupester. There is a small chance that it’ll get a 3 inch chop down the road, but that’s about it.

    I’m going to build a fold down top at some point. I like the look and wouldn’t mind something to keep the rain off.

    I’m glad you didn’t. Your car is coming out really nice.

    Didn’t get too much done this weekend. Just headlight mounts. It looks much better now. They look uneven but they’re not tightened yet.

    How much chop? The height looks perfect to me.

    Awesome car, sport coupes dont get as much attention as they should. Here's my mid 50s style Eskimo Pie FB_IMG_1549508397082.jpeg
