Are the roadster body 27's bigger inside than the T or no? I was trying to find pics of a 27 roadster glass body to see if I like it but don't see any.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the '27 body is bigger in some areas than the '23. Mostly in foot room around the underside of the dash. I was able to squeeze 3 pedals into my '27, but no way could I do it on the '23. Part of that was due to the high mounting position of the '23 engine, but still it is tighter. Model A's even have more room, and '32's are roomier yet.
I will dig out some pictures of my '27 so you can see how they look. I'll do that tonight if I can find them.
Hey, by the way, you have perfect parts to start your own rod. Just dig up a C4 Ford tranny or AOD, and that Chevy rear end is perfect in width and all. Those are all perfect ingredients for a rod. The "patina" on the Cragars is IN right now.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
