    I’d love to build something with my model a commercial cowl into some sort of truck. I have no cab, maybe something someone would have built in ww2 as a get around town vehicle from parts? Any ideas.

    I used one to build a tub. A similar roadster pickup would be just as easy. hottub02.jpg

    build a huckster. And, I just happen to have a Shurmeyer-Whitney kit for sale, what a co-incidence.. britruck003[1].jpg CIMG5904.JPG CIMG5905.JPG CIMG5906.JPG Shurmeyer1.jpg Shurmeyer2.jpg

  7. Do a google search for phantom woody, or huckster, or lakester, c cab or boat tail. There are lots of ideas out there. A cowl and doors would be even better. Here is a phantom picture and one someone else started, but I have in inventory. 962BF793-C268-4723-B399-932F14B1A008.jpeg A9E10B17-FD1C-4207-9E95-F32C30230731.jpeg

    Only thing I remember built with an A cowl was an air compressor. It ran off two of the A engines cylinders and the other two were used as the compressor.
