Winter has been long and cold here in Utah and I’ve got about 7 projects on hold for paint. 
My son got me this one for Christmas and I thought I’d mock it up a bit and try to decide what to do with her. 
I like the chopped top look but it will be impossible to really see the interior so I’m kind of leaning towards leaving the top open… thoughts or suggestions?

Dave.

I like the roadster. The T coupe, for some reason I can't articulate, doesn't look good to me. I built one recently. It was the tall body but I chopped it to look like the version you have but I obtained mine off Ebay in a parts lot . I think if I had your kit I would end up building g a T-bucket roadster. The Lincoln engine is an unusual choice by today's standards the basic '25 T kit goes waaaaay back and I can't understand the engine choice. I put a flat head in mine but that body just doesn't work for me. I think it's the trunk I don't like.  Just my opinion.IMG_3696.jpg.6af82c63c3bdb151cc8dd69cee458f87.jpg

Having the coupe body with no roof is also a perfectly valid option:

Jim, those look like '26 or '27 bodies, better looking in my mind. Removing the roof panel may not be an option for some of us but it's a pretty cool style. ? .  Some inspiration there, Dave!  I really like that last one with the wire wheels. Very "track" like.
