1929 Canadian Roadster FINALLY done
 

What a feeling to finally say I'M DONE. Started in 2003.
Thank you to you Barners for all your encouragement, thought of giving up many a time. Now to tackle Dads 31 Canadian Roadster Deluxe

Looks great!
Hope the next one goes quicker, but I know these things take time, and that's why I haven't restored mine yet.

Very nice! Once you have pinstriped it, you won't believe how much that thin little stripe makes a Model A "POP"! It's a subtle thing, to be sure. But for some reason, it accents the lines of the car and makes it look more classy. Look up the correct layout in one of the Model A books. For a '28-29 roadster, it's a fairly simple pattern.

Certainly a very good looking car but I think I would have left it as it was. You can't create that look!

I agree. I often think cars are good enough as found and should be left alone, but in this case I think it deserved to be restored and is so much nicer now. As found it had the wrong wheels and front bumper, just for starters.

Looks excellent, congratulations on a job well done.
And I thought the 5 years I put into my wife's '61 Morris Minor was a lot.

Can I send you a bill for my new computer....I just drooled all over my keyboard and shorted it out.......lol. Congratulations on a beautiful job. Still working on my barn find but really enjoying driving it here in FL with flat roads and plenty of sunshine. Thanks for all your help with my questions - we are getting ready to start on my new top this week! Jim
