Iv'e said this before, seem's a shame to cover up all that nice chassis work.

Thank you for the welcome. I like that (Still learning after all these years.)Never stop learning.

My first model A was a 1930 coupe. It started as this (picture 1) and ended up as this (picture 2). I am sure yours will turn out even better. Enjoy the process of restoring it. For me, it may be lots of work, but is just as satisfying as driving it.

Oops! I already replied to this thread! I am getting OLD!!!

Spent many hours on grill shell polishing and riveting lacing. I made a tool to open the rivets works great with a second set to flatten them.

Got the body all blocked out and I will reprime for paint.Made a body stand I can roll around for painting.

Impressive, you know what you are doing. I just bought my Coupe this January and have put 3500 miles on it so far and love every minute of it.
I am not mechanically inclined, the best source of knowledge and how to, has been my local Model A Club and the Restorer Magazine.
I hope you enjoy your car as much as I have mine.
