It has been talked about on here and the "other place" is head and leg room. I was reading about a restoration of a 32 Coupe hot rod. There was a comment about the top not being chopped. That got me to thinking about the old hot rods that were chopped and channeled. The guys that built them either did not drive them much or they were smaller and more limber than me. Of course they were not over 65 and overweight. The coupe being rebuilt did not look like it had a lot of headroom originally, I just cannot imagine a 4 inch chop. The seats would have to be lowered somehow or neck / backache. Thoughts anyone?

I have thought about renewing the top sealant on my 29 business coupe, but given that it is only a single thickness of fabric, I am concerned about the chemical odor permeating the interior of the car and making it unpleasant or even unhealthy. Can anyone advise me what they have used on older sport coupe and business coupe tops, and has odor been a problem?07-15-2017, 10:55 AM -

Is the roof panel above the door norrower or wider than the panel above the door than that of a tudor? Looking for these panels for my Dads special coupe and a friend called me and the right side he bought for his tudor is narrower than what he needs. Hoping it is the right width for the special coupe and I can trade him for the one I have for a tudor. For some reason I was thinking the one for the...09-26-2017, 01:21 PM -
Now, when I was younger, my first A was a '30 Sport Coupe, but all I really remember about it was it had some vinyl seat cover material for a roof.
Today I was working on an Aug '28 Sport Coupe and noticed something I had not remembered about my first one. It seems that the "Special Coupe" wasn't the only model to have a removable beltline. Can any of you out there in Model...01-05-2018, 11:36 PM -
Again I'm new at this game and haven't seen much, but this situation does not seem right. Give me your input please.
I'm getting a new engine so I tore the old engine down to see what it was like.
1. I found one of the rods had a 1.5 in long weight welded inside the web. Nothing on the other side.
2. Second rod had a 3" weight welded to each side of the rod.
3. Third...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

While Getting these front backing plates packaged for dmdeaton I noticed a rattling noise. I had noticed that the adjusters were gone and the adjuster covers were still in place and thought nothing about it other than he would not have to spend time removing rusted adjusters. When I looked in the adjuster holes I found the adjuster wedges were what was rattling. I removed the covers and removed them....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Have tried to bend the molding around the rear corners of the top but can't keep it from twisting. How is it done? Donh11-03-2018, 10:48 PM -
I am the second owner of my 29 Tudor, which I bought in 1961. The item pictured was attached to the molding on the front windows, one on each side. The tab is about 1-1/8”; the roller part stands up at about 1”.
Over the ensuing years, I lost one, but still have this one. I removed both some time in the distant past. I have never seen any others on any Model A’s, so I suspect it...05-09-2018, 12:52 PM -
I am looking at another coupe that is close to home and runs great. I believe this car had an amateur restoration 10-15 years ago. It currently belongs to a young fella that bought it to hot rod and is overwhelmed with the project before even starting. He is asking $9800 for the car and I have offered him $8K. If you look at the pictures you can see poorly installed patch panels on the quarter panels...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
