WTB - Speedster Body

[cijames5380]

Hi,
I bought a late 23 chassis and looking to build a speedster with my 14 yr old son. Rather than the traditional route (seats on plywood), I'm looking to see if anyone has a body similar to the one on the photos (or of somewhat similar design). Please let me know, happy to chat by phone too. Thank you!

Another example. Happy to also talk with someone who may be able to help build a body or may have a similar speedster for sale. Thank you!

There are several body building articles on the North West Vintage Speedsters site.
Www.nwvs.org
Along with many finished examples.

The MTFCA web site has a speckling of speedster builds mixed in all over.
If you could find one you like and contact the owner you might get direct information.
They vary so much in design and style it will take some research and thought.
Search using your favorite search engine MTFCA Speedster Build and select images to find one you like.

The Tulsa Model T Chapter also has several builds and information on them.

The first picture has what is commonly called Fairgrounds Racer style.

When you make some progress post some pictures to inspire me and others to bump our future projects to the top of the to do list.
Mike

Here is one I have been working on the last few years. I already had the seats so I incorporated them into the body, even though they aren't on there for these photos. They are new seats similar to Rootleibs. This was last fall when it finally got a coat of primer.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
