    The woodie would work with some modification. The Cabrio windshield frame tapers to the top, the wagon is pretty much "straight up".
    Here's what the cabrio looks like.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    And here's what the wagon looks like. Besides, you should build a roadster, they're way cooler.

    Not yet Michael, though the color is similar. Mines a roadster rather than a cabrio, and I'll be putting on a black top. The car is coming along slowly as I've been taking advantage of the incredible weather we've been having to get the outside work on the house done. Some day you'll understand that better. For now, enjoy the freedom of your youth.

    Pretty much assembly, upholstery, and top. There are a few pieces not yet painted but nothing that will stop most progress once I get back on it.

    Looks like our originator, Bill, grabbed his info last night and then split. Gotta love gratitude!

    Bill,

     



    I have a 37 Ford, and I made my own frame (which is the same as yours). If you decide that you want to tackle this I will send you the drawings.
