    One of my favorite Model A's ever, and you've only made it better.
    BUT, I've got news for you, it's not done, are they ever?
    Congrats!

    Nice piece.
    How about a close detail shot of the "snuff can" taillamps and that interesting looking inside third stop light?

    The third stop light was made from scratch by my dad and given to me for my 18th birthday the first time around. I'll have to take some pics of it, but here are the taillamps.

    Looks even better, Kirby, if that's possible. Hope to see you guys in K'ville.

    What are the details on the hood sides and top? Looks like 32 sides(?) What about the top, 32 shell and Model A cowl?

    Tell your Dad hello.
