    Very nice...Just the right amount removed for proportional look on top chop.
    I built a '30 Cabriolet on Deuce rails in 1956, channeled 4"...(bottom 2" of rails were visible)
    Car had nice proportions, if a little 'long'...(used '29 Roadster rear quarters, cabriolet doors)
    That was a 'convertible', no door frames. Top folded back, laid on top of the rear shelf with a 'boot'.

    Everybody said I should cut the windshield pillars off and use a roadster windshield...
    I laughed.
    My Mom had a '29 Sport Coupe with a very warmed over 'banger in '35, Winfield equipped,
    (cam, head, intake/carb, Magneto ign.) very fast.

    With my friends passing a couple months back(Anthony Casteneda) this build has taken on differnet meaning. We worked on this car together- he welded up my frame.- working on this car at times brings back some emotions- i feel motivated though to get it done and enjoy it.

    Very cool! I love the direction this is heading.

    Mine's on A rails, 2" chop, no hood.

    These are certainly different looking "3 window" A coupes!
