you might start with an MG frame of old, and make adjustments........... or similar.

Roadster PU irons originally did not fold, so the "original" experts here, while willing, will likely not be able to help. You might contact Brookville Roadster, Brookville OH to see if they know of anyone. You could also post on the H.A.M.B. as many of those folks have done many and varied modifications.

One issue I see is there is no provision for resting the roof when down you will have to fabricate something, and the folded roof will foul the front of the bed area.

Good hunting, have fun.
