Dressed Up T
Here is a prettied up Ford roadster I found interesting and wanted to share. I'm unsure of the bodywork's origin, anyone seen another?

Re: Dressed Up T
That's pretty slick. You could get a long way toward that look by cutting down repro windshield stanchions and top irons, then modifying a new top to fit. Might need to lower steering wheel.

Re: Dressed Up T
The body is by REX they also made other Model T accessory parts including rolls Royce shaped radiator shells.

Let's throw a little light on the subject.

Re: Dressed Up T
Wouldn't that look great with some A model 19" wire wheels and 500 x 19 tyres. Drop her down a bit and beef her up.

Re: Dressed Up T
Allan, my first thought was that this car sure looks like a Model A. You can see how the T was slowly morphing into the A in '26 onward.

Re: Dressed Up T
The picture looks like a cover for the cowl tank. The wider doors might be a help getting in and out, especially on the driver's side. However, I wonder how a tall person could fit with the top up? We actually have some people who have trouble with the standard height of the windshield and top. Even I who am only 5' 7" tall look through the top section of the windshields on my 26 cars.
