That coupe reminds me of one that got away. When I was in my late teens, I found an old guy with two Model As for sale, both in running condition, but needing work. I was going to buy the 5 window 1931 for $200, and my friend was going to buy the 1929 2 door sedan for $150. When I came home and told my Dad, he asked where I was going to keep it. You might guess his reply when I told him, "Not on our driveway!" My friend's dad said the same and we never returned to see if they were sold to anyone else. I wish I could have bought that car. Oh well, maybe a slot car of it will do.

Awesome Dave! It really does look like an A- Bone!
One of the things I liked about this body, was the ability to make it what we wanted without major changes.
it looks super!, cant wait to see the finished product!

great call on the gold numbers too. what can i say, you nailed it.
(not sure about your sponsor though? i hear they used to be called midnight Auto parts!)

I say seal it and leave it, but i am a big fan of Semi gloss/satin black (DP90) In the real world.
My last few 1;1 coupes were done in that color, and even my Little track T.
I love it.

You know, those reality shows like Overhauling have nothing on some folks here. I can't believe how fast you guys turn it around and for it to look that good! Mine would end up looking like TurboKev's car - except I wouldn't have planned it that way!

Nice job!
