My mind is not what it used to be!! I thought that I saw a web site showing how a speedster body would "fit" over a Model A frame in a line drawing showing options for a narrow one seater design and a wider bodied bench seat version.

Do any of you know where I might have seen that? I am considering options for a 29 hood and cowl with a wide body option.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Jerry,

You may want to search to try on line: "Secret of Speed Society" in Batavia, OH; founder Mr. Charles Yapp.

Their telephone no. used to be (513) 724-0700.

Spoke to Mr. Yapp often, but a few years ago.

Brattons has a speedster kit on page 181 of their current catalog, its not a boat tail speedster but a popular design.

You can also go to the Northwest Vintage Speedsters site, there is pictures of all kinds and all types of speedsters on that site.

I've seen pictures where old hoods like 40 ford or late 40s international truck hoods were used to make the boat tail rear section. Those hoods aren't always easy to find and you would need body work skills to make it happen even if you had the needed hood.
