    Great work and your own personal style. I agree for me the cowl panel is not my thing, but if you like it that's what counts. Besides that the minute you fire up nobody is going to see a thang car past the bellhousing. Nothing better than a Chrysler.

    Cowl, Embossed Ford Logo, Shaved Drip Rails, Recessed License Plate, and Widended Fenders are all in bad taste and horrible.

    The Hemi is nice.
     
  13. I have to say some of the mods aren't for me...but it's your car so do as you see fit...but I will say the motor is killer!!!

    You have very good metal working skills there, just not sure about those mods, have to see it painted I guess before I'd decide for sure.

    The engine needs some Chrysler firepower covers. The fenders are ugly and I don't care for the recessed licensed plate. However, it all depends on what you're looking for- use digression.

    A prime example of just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I noticed there's no shots of the front end, is it going to have IFS? Pure street rod.

    At least the engine is cool.

  22. Not diggin the body, as some of the others have already said. Swap that cowl out for a stock one, and you'd be on the right track. I'm sure it will have billet wheels and a MII front end though.
     
  23. Why is this car on this board? Widened fenders, etc... street rod.

    Nice engine though.

    That's what I think.
     
  24. I'm going to bite my Lip just a little and wait to see your finished Project. Custom work on a model A is tough to pull off. I have a Vision of finished paint scheme that could make it Bad Ass. Hood/Grill shell will have a big impact on the Cowell work and if you did Molded 39 Buick style headlights, you may have my something.

    What are your plans for front suspension, wheels/tires?
    I'm not feeling the cowl.

    Hope you have a stout frame and suspension for that hemi. You're going to need it.
