    I like that alot. The header over the windshield is a little "thick" and needs to be thought about. Not sure I understand how you made the quarter window openings. Did you convert a slant window four door into a coupe? Doesn't look like it as the doors do not sit flush with the moulding and actually look like coupe doors. would like to know more about how you accomplished this.

    Pretty cool!! I also like the side window treatment. Make it look a bit like a '33-'34.

    I like that it's different. I don't think it looks as good as original. (chopped original)

    I think if you title a thread "Model A Discussion" you should damn well discuss something. How about throwing out a little info or something you wish to discuss? Don't make me work for it brother...
     
  12. Ricky Bobby's got mad skills. SO happy to see him move away from the cartoon cars he's known for.:cool:
     
  13. I like it . Would like to see a straight on side shot.

    The dash rail is lowered, the gastank cowl is dropped. The rain gutter treatment IS slick,
    lots of work there.
     
  14. Looks a little different, but isn't that what building a hot rod is all about, one person's taste.
    Nice work, look forward to the progress..

    Thanks for sharing..

    Model A sure looks like a Chrysler brand body.

    Damn thats cool. I really like it. If you did 32' roadster wheelwells you would having some people scratching their heads for sure..
     
  18. Except the slant window cars didn't have visors. The car is neat (and I am mostly into stockers).

    Nice, but that header is just too tall IMO. Bob
