Thread: New, First Hot Rod of my own.

The T coupe pictured above was built by Boyd Coddington a while back (I don't remember the year) from a complete, running Model-T coupe. Coddington bought the car, took the body and grille shell off, and sold the running chassis. One of his employees, Mike, built a '29 Model-A pickup. They then drove the cars together from California to the NSRA Nats in Louisville, KY where they were entered in a People's Choice competition - Mike's '29 won.

Coddington's coupe is a pretty cool car. I don't know why he reshaped the rear quarter-windows - they looked better with the stock shape. Nevertheless, the chop is about the right amount and the car is well proportioned. The main thing I would change is the paint. That car NEEDS color and the smooth body would look better with a glossy paint job - just my opinion... Of course Coddington has been dead for a few years now; I have no idea what happened to the coupe. Anybody know?
