    Last year I started building a Model A sedan and I got it running toward the end of the year, Now I'm ready to start on it again and I'm not sure how I want to finish it.

    At first I was going to build it as a 50's car all black with a red and black interior Full fendered with a full hood, 32 bumpers, 40 wheels and 40 caps..

    Then I thought about a mid to late 60's vibe full fendered no hood Detailed engine, Gold or Copper paint, white and gold interior upholstered running boards, chrome wheels, Nerf bars.

    And now I keep bouncing back in forth not knowing how I want to build it. What would you do?

    This is what it looks like now.

    My vote is for mid to late '60s. Metalflake paint, detailed engine, white tuck and roll, too many wheel choices to choose one right off hand.

    I kind of like it the way it is. I would paint it black & finish the interior. You have a really great stance & I love the wheel tire combo in the primered version.

    #2 is what I have been thinking of also, Im thinking 50's olds had a copper color that was good looking I will have to start looking at color books. It will have a shine on it instead of flat.

    Whatever version you choose, I feel certain you'll get it right 'cause what you've done so far looks great!
