Except for the red hood/bonnet, that looks a lot like the one I brought home back in the early part of this century! (around 2008) Had to hold the cab together with ropes to bring it home.

I really like the early black coupes with the suicide doors, as well as the tall and handsome Centerdoor sedans.

I tend the view the tall Ts as great hot rod material but I always believe they look best when the body's are left stock meaning not chopped or channeled. I'm 6"1' and I tried to sit in a chopped and channeled '27 coupe. Even though the seat was on the floor my head was mashed into the headliner and I could not see out of the windshield with out tilting my head sideways! The cars owner was a bit shorter than I!

Model T Ford Coupe seen at a recent Canadian Car Show. This one has regular Front Hinged Doors, unlike the original one shown in this Thread that has Rear Hinged Doors.

This is mine. I couldn't find a complete one so I assembled it from a pile of sheet metal and parts. It's a blast and keeps the snow off of us. People enjoy it as much as our restored cars.

I always wanted to take one of those and put 1915 Fenders, Hood, lights, cowl lights, radiator maybe even an oval rear window.
I think it would look great even though its not original.
Why not, people make speedsters.......

Many Model T's are just a collection of parts from a variety of years. There is a long tradition of that.

It's called a Coupelet. Yes they are a wonderfully sporty car.

I am new to Ford Barn. One day I would like to be driving a completed Model T; preferably an Early T.

I've planned to build what I can from the frame, up. I am not a mechanic by trade, so, when it comes to the engine and transmission, I'll definitely be challenged. I am most interest in the early Model Ts, 1909-1914. I have a Straight Axle coming on Tuesday. I have located a Frame; I just have to get it shipped to Michigan. Mechanically, the Chassis doesn't seem to be too complicated.

Folksinger, early T's are cool and pretty straightforward. You might be better off getting a more complete car, but if you want to do one from parts, more power to you. You should join a local T club and the national clubs, mtfca.com and www.modelt.org. BTW, here is a pic of the coupe I rescued from a garage a few years ago. It's a 24.

How much did you have to pay for your 24' Model T ?

Not much. No title and driver's side disassembled and needs new wood. I got the engine running a year and a half ago after sitting since around 1962. A lot of work ahead of me.

Lol. How much is "Not Much"? A few Hundred Dollars or a few Thousand Dollars?
