History 28-31 MODEL A THAT DOES IT FOR YOU! Feel free to post your Model A

This shell came from a AA '31 truck. I made the insert from a piece of honeycomb same as used on sprint cars, painted satin black, does a great job in protecting the radiator, but appears as original.

 

Cool truck! What are the wheel covers from?

 

This should be an original.

 

Another one.

 

Made from an e-bay purchase, Stainless steel moon type disc, rolled the ribs on a Pullmax, machined the caps from aluminum, then polished and applied body color paint.

 

This coupe has it all. However, I'm guessing it's running a little rich, not just because of four deuces but because of the soot along the door. I love that the DeSoto hemi is so m***ive that it vanishes into the firewall. One thing I've not known is the difference between the Fireflite and Firedome engine designation. School me, please.

 

Well it's got an almost stock grill, and a ton of presence, I likey muchly!
