    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to covert a Sports Coupe into a basic 5 window coupe?
    Any help is greatly appreciated:rolleyes:

    Good luck, I'm looking for a roof for my 28 special coupe. I haven't stumbled upon anyone dumb enough to cut the roof off of a good coupe body. All the roof pieces I have come across are crap. I always keep an eye out though, and one day I'll find the right deal on the right parts.

    On 28-29 coupes, Ford used the same rear quarters, deck lid, etc. for the standard coupe, special coupe, and sport coupe. I used the rear quarters from a sport coupe, and the top from a standard coupe to make my car. The tops and b pillars are each different and attach in different ways to the top of the rear quarters. Here's a picture of mine.
