Oh, and yeah....it does look great, Greg. The thing you did with the cowl vent is genius. Well done. The windshield rubber is a great idea too. Can't wait to see this one done. You could use MCG or Detail Master wipers if your dexterity is still up to par (mine isn't so great these days ?).

Good God, man....I am so done with my '41 and I know what you are going through. I see mine sitting there every day and I just avoid thinking about it. It's just one of those things. I have moved on. Greg, I hope you can bring yours to some sort of closure. Good luck. Edit: I really like that painting fixture you made. Great idea!

This is way more complicated than I expected. ?. Your workmanship is impressive, Bob. I'm following with great interest.

I don't understand why the exhaust had to be routed through the cabin and not underneath like a regular car. ?. No room undeneath? Weird rules? My total ignorance? ?

I guess TarheelRick said it all. I was confused by the "passenger side" text and the subsequent driver's side exhaust exit photo. You can still edit it, Bob ?

That's good ol' Model Master Plum Crazy! I thought it fitting for this old Mo-pup. I have it polished out and foiled and in the process of final assembly.

My "Gray Ghost" is a combination of the Moebius '56 Chrysler 300C and a promo I paid $70 for just to create a tribute to my favorite ride back in the '70s. Unfortunately, some stoner rear-ended me at a red light and that was the end of that one.

I have attempted what you did with your interior without anywhere near the success you were able to achieve. Nice work, Jim.

Let's not forget that '56 Desoto that belonged to some friend of the Pharohs that whats-his-name "scratched" while leaning on it..... Well, actually, this one was mine ?

Bob....um....is this car going to be right-hand steering? Or did you flip the photo?

Oh she's a beauty, Dave. Congrats!

Hey, Bob, I'm also happy to see this one progressing. I can't remember why, though....I will read it all from the beginning. ? I do remember I was working on a Fleetline when I became interested in your build. It's just age.....?.....what was I saying? ?

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT ! I love Model A coupes and this one is a total heart-throb. Great work!

Nothing that comes in a green or clear bottle.

Wouldn't it be cool if somebody came up with a colored, translucent self-adhesive film you could cut to size and shape like BMF and just apply it to your glass? It seems to me that it's out there somewhere. ?

He calls a spade a spade....?....effectively making him....wait for it......?......

I would not expect detail that intricate on something like this; my first comment was just joking. I really like the build. It's imaginative and well executed. I just hope you can put something a little stronger than Coke in that cooler ?

Yeah, man, it looks pretty darn good. I was just playing. Not too many people would know that stuff. What you see in the 1:1 is an open drive compressor on the left and on the far end of it is a big pulley. The motor on the right would drive the compressor with a belt. There should be a condenser connected to the compressor with a maybe 1/2 copper line. The condenser is probably located on the far side out of sight or it was removed. On the left of the compressor is a pressure control of some sort. You have a good representation, though, I was just messing with you. Edit: upon close examination, I see the compressor pulley serves a dual purpose because the spokes are made in the form of fan blades. ? fascinating!

You need a condenser coil ? ....and a fan

Oh...um....what? ?

Oh...the magnet thing is not my idea, I merely passed it on. I've been using it for several years now though. I picked it up, I think, on the old SA forum. Your idea for the "ears" combined with the "nose" magnet, potentially, makes use of the firewall/cowl slots found on many kits. In some of my builds I have closed those unsightly slots intended for "hinges" or used them for wire hinges, as was appropriate. Now, thanks to you, there is another option. Kudos! ? (what's a kudo?)

I like the look - reasonably chopped highboy on pre-war suspension, early hemi, quick change rear. I'm seeing pie crust slicks ?....with white-walls ??

Hey! Good thinking! You don't mind if I use that some day, do ya? More than one way to skin a cat, Len.... ?‍⬛

I am reminded of Austin Powers, I can hear him in my head now.... "oh beeee haaaave". ?

When I was a mere child, I was in possession of a scrapbook full of tobacco stamps my grandfather, who had been a butcher/ store owner back in the '20s, '30s, and '40s had saved (for me) and, after he was gone, I had no idea what they were. There were also many foreign postage stamps and such but I was not interested in them. I wish I had kept track of them. Stupid kid. ?. Yes, I was a stupid kid. I admit it. ? perhaps I still am .
