Well I was given this T sedan and have a few ideas of my own what would you do to it and if you have photos of what you would like please post them
Build a hot rod. Would look good as a highboy with a chop. A model frame, endless choices of motors. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
I see an unchopped highboy on a Model A frame, maaaybe a mild drop axle up front to give it a natural rake, big and littles on 16" wires to give it even more rake through the rubber, some sort of dual carbed four banger engine with lots of shiny bits and a chromed 1929 shell.
I'm with Scotto, don't chop it, it looks bitchin like it is. His other suggestions would make a more unique ride than otherwise.
Man why can't someone give me one of those! Only thing I would chop, is that huge panel at the top of the windshield. Leave the rest alone. Other then that, the highboy on an A frame sounds good.
I think I might leave the top alone and put a four banger And a full hood pinched into a 36 or 37 ford grill if I did chop it would be a mild wedge to loose the header panel
When I see this body used, it seems like most often folks tend to get carried away with the chop and lowering, and with the big flat top the end result is something that looks like a billiard table rolling down the street. So, I'm thinking something more highboy, 32 rails, chop in the neighborhood of 4 to 5". Damn, I want one now. Very cool!
graft it on to a smart car just to piss off the restorers, lol , naw, un-chopped miled channel (just enough to hide frame) flat head banger with 50's speed parts, big and little's on full reverse steelies with button caps and rings and a stockish color two tone paint and some peaked fenders all around with running-boards , and don't forget the 2 pc. windshield that pivots open for air , I don't think id even put a roof on her just the open bows , screw it ship it up ............. ill do it my self lol
Leave it tall , channel enough to cover the frame , set it low powered by a 4 banger or you could put in your front yard and make a planter out of it . Just teasing get it on the road.
Wedge chop, buick nailhead, chrome reverse with skinny white walls or red lines, whippet grill, no fenders or alaKart style fenders, rolled belly pan to visually lower it, paint it black with pearl white padded top. Or drop in somethin that runs and drive her as is.
If you don't chop it, fit a pay phone in it,That way it will look like a real phonebox on wheels.To tall,just an opinion.
If you are going to leave it unchopped, I would run some fenders on it, at least on the rear. The body would look like a fat woman with long skinny legs if you make it a highboy. Personally, I think a T sedan needs a couple of inches off the top.
