    After 13 months of hard work from everyone involved, my Model A project is finished. I still have a few little things to do for state inspection but the car is complete and I'm happy with the results. Here are the before and after pictures from my album! Enjoy.

    Great job
    The stance and proportions look perfect. Great looking engine too. Now we have to introduce you to a set of tall skinny biasply's. :)

    Someone won't appreciate this but before I opened the thumbnails I thought the finished product was a model. :eek:

    The car is beautiful, no extraneous garbage, just a down to earth hot rod.

    Beautiful!
    I also thought it was a pic of a model car at first. That's how nice it is!

    Some other builders must have been happy to get all the good parts you didn't use.
