    Bought a power supply for the Astrodome. These gauges don't have bulbs in them, they are electroluminescent. Screenshot_20210731-103823_Gallery.jpg

    Very neat! Can we get a photo of the overall project? Details are great but it would be nice to see the whole project.

    Haven't done much to my car lately because it's been so hot, but I did manage to finish the insert for the grille. 20210827_121207.jpg

    Would you care to explain what happens with your doors going from the 32 cowl "A" pillar to the Model A "B" pillar etc please?

    Nice work, thinking outside the box is refreshing.

    I only used the front roof section from the 32, the A pillers are Model A. The 32 windshield opening is really close to the Model A's 20210827_191141.jpg . I leaned the a pillers back about 13 degrees.

    Stripping my engine down for the machine shop, mocked it up with the Hemi heads and FI unit. 20210912_155330.jpg

    Loving this. That peaked decklid would look great even on a garden variety hot rod A.

    Sent my 1959 Corvette Rochester Fuel Injection to Futo and Son in Arizona last week for a full rebuild, just received some pictures this morning. Guy does incredible work. Going to look awesome on my Hemi. IMG_20211009_101517_884.jpg IMG_20211009_101517_934.jpg IMG_20211009_101518_005.jpg IMG_20211009_101517_974.jpg

    Nice 'graft' on the windshield and top.
    GREAT use of the '59 'Vette Fuel Injection unit!!! Top and trunk lid are 'a step beyond'...
    Way cool!

    Love the grill. Initial impression of the lights is that they are small. Intended?

  21. Loving the quad lights! It’s a custom after all. I couldn’t picture how you could build the A as a custom but you obviously can. Great job!

    Narrowed a 1951 Buick dash to hold the Astrodome gauge cluster for the Model A

    Customizing is all about finding a "motif", then repeating it. My recommendation is to ditch the '58 Ford hood skin (it has too much loft in the middle) for the twin "gun ports" on a '57 Chevy hood. The gun ports would be aligned with twin "hood bumps" on the decklid leading to the taillights. By the way, love your pickup.
