Oh man! That is gorgeous! I love the entire combo and the headers and pipes are just so right!

I remember the 1977 AFX annual book had a section of cars guys had built. Some were similar to this. I attempted to hack up something to do one, but it did NOT turn out well...

Awesome work Kevin!

Finally dug the Model A coupe that was sitting in the corner collecting dust.
A simple build with no frills, just drop and go if you will

Got something new in the works. Started with an old 55 Chevy and reworked it a little bit.
First we narrowed it a little bit
Image
Then we shortened it a little bit
Image
Then we moved the roof back some
Image
After all that we put it all back together and the result is not to bad, after filling all the seams
and making a few more cuts on the body this is what we got so far
Image
Image
Still have a ways to go but it's a good start.

All for now

hood and body.

All that's left is to paint and decal the body and a little touch up.

As you can see by my post count, I'm more of a "lurker" than a poster....But I just have to say "WOW"!...I love watching your builds.
