    I've pretty much ruled out Chevy, Ford, and most Chrysler products I've been able to compare it to.

    Thanks guys!

    I know, right?! I wish metal could talk - I'd love to know the story behind things like this and see what that guy made out of it all those years ago.

    I'm trying to find pics of 30-31 Plymouths right now, but its snowing and my internet is spotty at best. Thanks for the suggestion!

    I think the 29 Pontiac suggestion is correct. Thanks guys! Aside from the rear window, the rest looks just like a 29 Chevy roof I've got.

    Pontiac window in a 28/9 Ford Sedan. Car gets 6" chop. I will then look at the window and see how much to take out of it. Tape is layed out for 3" out of the window, stock height window would be fine in a full fendered A. Chopping it will take some judicious cuts to keep the oval looking good, I have my ideas and lots of posterboard.

    Thanks Gigantor, I will get those shells boxed up. The Holiday is going to get in the way this week DOH!

    Nice design touch! That compliments the backend of the A.
     
  13. The HAMB is an odd place, some dude in Maine found an unknown chunk of tin and a few days later it is at Mt Rushmore getting grafted to a Ford Sedan!?!
