    Damn good job man! I love the stance and proportions. Do you have a louver press? I love your decklid. I want to get one punched full of louvers for my coupe.

    Love the look of your A. Your before shot reminds me of my '29 av8 I built in 1960 and drove the last two years of high school and the first two years of college. Man, lots of memories of that old girl. Like most have said you nailed the stance on yours.

    Love the look of your A and like most have said you nailed the stance. The before shot reminds me of the 1929 Av8 I built in 1959 and drove the rest of high school and the first two years of college. Lot of memories with that old girl.

    Great idea! I love the spacing on the decklid. It sets it apart from the usual punched lids. I might have to steal your idea and reskin my lid too.
