Well I have decided that I dont like the way my coupe sits (chassis rails are too high IMO) so Im going to work on a new chassis that sits lower, rakes the body severely, fiit larger rear tyres and smaller front rims. Will leave the old SBF in place. Im inspired by a T coupe that Tim Condor worked on. Its magic. Its winter here in a couple of months, so hope to have the plan nutted out by then ansd the car back on wheels for next summer.
Since I'm not quite a Bucket T, but rather a Track T, can I belong? Or you all are more than welcome here, http://tbuckets.lefora.com/ we have Woody Ts, C cab, Track T, T coupe, T buckets. Bob

For some reason, I just found this thread. The last post was in 2014. Needs updating with more T Coupes. Here's mine and a link to a thread about driving it to the Salt in 2018: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/26-coops-trip-to-the-salt-high-sodium-diet-iv.1117323/
I just picked up a 26 coupe body that's in amazing condition. Putting it on the back burner because I also got a 51 Ford club coupe that is also in great shape.The 51 came with enough new stuff that value of parts far exceed the cost of the car.
Here's my '26 T that I bought for my 50th from over in Orange County. I did feel a bit guilty breaking up such a nice stocker. It has a boxed original chassis and unchopped with a 4 pot motor.
Getting cabin fever with this corona virus and since I'm not getting anything done, here's mine. Since it is all apart, here is a pre - chopped top picture.
Just to let you know, 26 COOP was also chopped.....ONE INCH. I did it to gain room at the bottom for the rear quarter window power window motors:
