28-29 A Coupes converted to roadsters??

Has any one got pics of A coupes converted into roadsters. I was thinkin about doing it to mine and like the "devall windsheild look" and alot of the other "swep back looking" windsheilds. Post'em if ya got'em !!

 

trade your coupe for an roadster instead there is alot of people who rather have coupes then roadsters, i've traded 2 model a coupe bodys for roadsters the past 2 years...

it will NEVER be an roadster, it will only be an coupster,

 

#1---Thats Duvall windshield, #2--They are known as coupsters. (many threads about them on the HAMB)

 

Here's mine from Bonneville last summer......

its alot of work to make it look "OK" but it'll never be a roadster....
the proportions are WAY off on a 28-9... a 30-31 is closer
the body lines are totally different on both though too....

Heres one I did

 

Well proportioned......Damn nice hood and grill treatment

 

Man, both of your cars look nice. Bomb, do you have any other pics, from the front or side maybe?

 

some from my collection

 

How much work do you want to do? If you are close, save your dough and get a real one.

I got 1 full year of metal work on this body to get it to look this way. If not done right, they look like crap. I stretched the rear deck, rolled the doors to the inside and even changed the dash. It has a wood cap along the rear and custom windshield stanctions to use stock 28/29 Roadster windshield. The deck inspiration by Suhr. Thanks!

After 2 years, the body is finally in paint, and getting color sanded. Im so close, I can taste it.
