Interesting modification on Fordor on MTFCF
Saw this & it’s pretty neat looking modification.
A young Lady named Kathy Paschkov in Springfield, MO Is in need of some mechanical help if anyone can assist.

Re: Interesting modification on Fordor on MTFCF
I'd want to put a late roadster/touring windshield on that, and add a second windshield at the front seat back with a removable soft top stretching from the remnant hard top to the second windshield. That would make a nice Town Car.

That's a one of a kind custom town car!
Shouldn't have any trouble finding help with that. Springfield's Heart of the Ozarks chapter is very active.

No contact info is given; you would need to go to Facebook and contact her through there.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Interesting modification on Fordor on MTFCF
This modification looks nice but it also scares me. The B-pillar with the strikers is also supporting the seat back This pillar is bolted to a wooden sill with 4 or 6 wood screws through an iron bracket on each side. With two people in the front seat, I’m guessing the rear doors will be hard to open and close since there is no longer two roof beams resisting the upper movement of the pillar.

Re: Interesting modification on Fordor on MTFCF
A brace across the seat back structure might be needed. Something like a second dashboard. The car would still lose some torsional stiffness, but as long as the doors stayed shut when driving, it wouldn't matter much. T touring cars and roadsters have very little torsional stiffness, and they do OK.
