    My Uncle just finished his 30 Coupe he has built 3 Model A coupe's one he traded off the second one was for someone else and this one he just finished. He is 70 years old and you will have to ask him about the color of the wheel's not my choice of color but it is his car.

    Nice build, not sure about the red and green combo. The ralleys not look too bad with the police caps.
     
  3. I like it, and when you're that age, you can do whatever you want in my opinion. : )
     
  4. Any chance your uncle is color blind? I don't mean this as a joke or put down, I bought a house with a lot of unusual colors and found out later that the person was color blind.

    Thats funny. I went to high school with a guy that bought a purple/pink wrangler. I thought it was kinda odd, maybe he got a good deal on it. Found out later from his sister he is color blind and thought it was a metalic grey. She new this, because they had argued about it at one point. lol!

    Back on topic... Very nice car. The wheels are kinda odd but at least they arent a cookie cutter color. Its a color combo you will never forget.

    I had bought this body and a new Pete & Jakes rolling chassis and it set in my shop for awhile he ask if I would sale and I said yes. The only difference in what he done and what I had planned he painted the car and I was not going to and NO green wheels for me. I told him the only part he messed up on was when he painted it, but the car does look good. He does all of the work himself panel replacement if need,paint,wiring,interior,etc. he is just a little on tight side when it comes spending money.
