Keep in mind the actual "Flip Top" is not just a tilt front end. It has a different body shape, type, and overall profile looking at it from any angle side, front, or back. There is a bit more to the body and chassis that makes it what it is. The back of the car tilts too and the position or layout of the body over (or around) the chassis is a bit unique. My ERA sits low, but feels like a Highboy in comparison to sitting in the FT where you actually feel like your rear is almost touching the ground; the car is literally on a completely different level than a regular 427 car.
