    That initial mock up and the chop look brilliant - great details too. Very neat and clean looking.
    Looking forward to some updates please.
    Cheers.

    When you chop that windshield for Gods sake don't lose that wonderfull AirForceBase decal.

    Now, that's cool. I don't see enough pieces of history from here. Keeping the decal in the window when it's done?

    Yea that's awesome, if your not going to leave it change the window and send it to me for my coupe. My grandad was there from 51 to when it closed in the early 60's training pilots. I live about 10 miles from there now.

    Here is the update. I started it up for the first time last week. Sounds great! Just a few little things and it is ready for a test drive. Next step is paint. It is going to be a original Model A color "Manila Brown" I think that will contrast good with all the black.

    That is one nice little A. Every time I see another example of your work the better I like it.

    Looks great! Those headlight visor/turn signals are badass. Are those custom or can you buy them somewhere?

    Not sure... I thought they were stock model A . Must be some old aftermarket item.

    I had her out for a little test drive before it goes to paint. The 383 really gets after it!

    Looks awesome.
    What did you do to get the stock hood and sides to fit?
    Shortened the wheelbase or extend sheetmetal?
     
  23. So very nice!! Really like that color...
