Skrain,

Back when I bought my Huckster plans from Wagon Works in 2009, I asked Jay that very question. His answer was...

"Your best bet for a beginning is a coupe, sedan or pickup cowl so you can just make the tapered adapter post to hang your new doors on. If you use an open car cowl such as a roadster, you will have to make a complete wooden front on the body and scribe it to the cowl. This would be quite a bit more work. The only cowl you want to avoid is a slant-windshield sedan, because you need a straight vertical door/windshield post."

Hope this helps,

Harvey
