    That's one mean and nasty lookin' ride!
    A thought...that trunk "hump" looks to be a separate piece. If you took it off, the back end would have a '32 Victoria-like slope to it. No space for stuff, though.
    That Plym grille looks like it grew there, nice touch.

    It's pretty cool that you used the remote shifter setup off a later 140, it puts the shift in the perfect place.
    This car could look fantastic with the right headlights and bumper. Best of luck, and I hope you post some updates as you make progress.

    Painted the dashboard, copper pearl is the thing. Put som glowble flake in the gaugepanel, dont no if it shows on the pics. Do notice that the gaugepanel isnt adjusted proparly yet.
    Mounted a new windsheild and painted the frame, copper pearl ofcourse.
    Next up is a little welding on the firewall and then some paint.

    HAHA . has a 2 inch chop already. Have had the roof in about 15 pieces
    Could have taken more but then the windsheild would be to small in my opinion.

    Just mounted noisy geardrive in the 110cui 4-banger.
     
  29. Wow, this is cool, and i've never really liked Citroens. I have an old bonnet/hood in my shed, and its the same as yours. So i guess its Citroen.
    Your car looks great in paint, can't wait to see it finished.
