I like your style Vanspeed. Here are pics of my A put together from found and fabricated bits.

Nice project. Search prewar gow job on FB if you have not already seen that group. Lots of great similar projects, focus on speedsters, racers and gow jobs that are true to prewar building techniques and equipment. Your car would fit right in.

There is a very reasonable t roadster on A chassis up here in New England on Craigslist, I would love it but no room in the inn right now.

Do you have a link to that?

I love the look and a good job done. I tried doing a speedster using a 26 T cowl and no success because I would have had to cut out the foot risers due to the placement of the A clutch pedal. I didn't want to cut up the good cowl so I sold it and bought a 30 repro body. Looks like you solved that problem, good job!
