Hot Rods 31 Briggs

Has anyone ever converted a 31 Briggs fordor into a 5 window coupe? I have a body that i would like to convert. Any thoughts?

I am just a novice at the Model A thing myself. I just bought a Briggs and going to take fenders off, lower it and build a killer 4 banger for mine. 4 doors are like building a boat.

 

The body I have seems to have a fairly small amount of wood from what I expected to see.

 

If you have a Briggs it is like the pic above.

 

I’ll have to try to find picks on my computer and post them

 

this is the best one on my phone. 2 feet of snow on it now so can’t get any pics right now

 

It appears that most of your wood has rotted away. Hard to tell from the view but the windows indicate Murray. Are they slightly arched (Murray) or straight across (Briggs) the tops? Do you have a straight on shot of either side? Also possibly a slant window with the absence of a front visor.

 

Just checked my comp. no pics on there. Guess I will get some in a few months.

 

I was told it’s a Briggs buy a friend who knows these things

 

Here are a couple shots of my Brigg, I will post a few more of some interior shots

 

Slant windows were made by Briggs if I remember correctly. There's not much wood in them. A restorer might want that body though,its a very popular with the senior restorer crowd. Coupes are dime a dozen buy a coupe body. Just my advice, or build a cool four door
