    Good deal. Your first build you will always remember. Are the patch panels scrwed onto the body. Looks that way on the cowl and door. Good one to start with. A ton of like builds on hear to look at. TP

    Seriously, you're in for the ride of a lifetime.

    Good luck with it, don't get discouraged, and keep us updated.

  9. Very cool car. That thing has some awsome character! I love all the stickers!
     
  10. Well, the hard parts are all there at least. But it looks like it spent time as a jalopy racer or something.

    At least now we know that you can in fact fit a washer or dryer into a Model A coupe, provided you do it very carefully.
