    Pre chopped too!....hope it isn't all junk underneath all of that primer....

    Tomahawk is in upper WS, they make all the fiberglass parts for Harley Davidson there.

    Been thru it a couple years back on the Iron Butt 1000 on my old 76 Harley Sportster with son Sean, then 13. (That's 1000 miles in 24 hours...and I weenied out after my butt failed in Steven's Point, WS, after a mere 500 miles...we camped out at the Walmart's property in a small tent).

    Any questions about 30-31 Model A coupes, just give me a shout...

    I'm 'da Model A Guru....

    Looks like your starting with some prime metal there, they are getting harder and harder to find. Should make a kick ass car when finished. Hope you'll share the build with us here.
    Yea!, I was getting nervous this morning and had signs of withdrawal, but it looks like we are in the clear.:cool: :D Wonder if Ryan does that once in awhile just to keep us on our toes?:eek:

    Seen this body last july. Don't remember the butchered top but I already had a coupe body so I didn't look at it all that close. If you need any help or somewhere to keep it till you can pick it up PM me. I'm only about an hour away....Mike
