Re: 1928 sport coupe
Looks nice, and I would have thought more hours, but I don't keep track of time spent on my projects. If you switch sides for the side irons, they will be the way the factory installed them. This only takes a few minutes and is a very common mistake, since they fit so well on either side.
My 29 also came with 1930-1 headlamps. If you want the 1929 Style, you might be able to trade someone. The main thing is that it's back together and you can have fun driving around. |

Re: 1928 sport coupe
Beautiful job. I imagine you are very proud of it.
I have a 29' SC that will be needing a new top soon. Did you do this one yourself? Any advice/pointers? Brad |

Re: 1928 sport coupe
If it is a 1928, you may also want to trade yours for 28's with fluted headlight lens; of course it depends on your headlight switch ?

Re: 1928 sport coupe
Problem Child turned out terrific. From what I can see you did a really nice job. It looks great. How about pictures of the inside and undercarriage? Would like to see it.
You're going to get quite a few looks driving it around town. Joe |

Re: 1928 sport coupe
Brads 29e: I did the top myself. Its a LeBarron Bonney top. You need to take your time and be persistint. Had to call them a couple of times. They are great to work with. Will try to post some interior pics.

Re: 1928 sport coupe
Really nice. Those seats look much more comfortable than my 83 year old todor seats. Nice work!

Re: 1928 sport coupe
Looks GREAT! Beautiful job well done!! And, a Sport Coupe can't be an easy project. I see so many with 'boney' looking tops you did a GREAT job on yours!! Congrats
Hey, now you need to buy that "Mail Truck Sport Coupe" out in Montana and put your skills to work on that one. Keep it Bigfoot' too neat looking to go back to original. |
