I see a fair bit of Iron Trap Garage going on there!   I particularly like the rust stains on the paint.  i don't think I've ever seen anyone attempt a bent grille before!

 

Cheers

Thanks, I can't take credit for the grill. It was a rebuild & the person who built it before me used so much glue it warped it. It seemed to work out for me on though.

Very cool! Was it painted that light blue before you touched it?

This one, which I immediately thought of when I saw yours, was a junker in this same blue. I couldn’t find a Testors spray that matched but there was a flat blue bottle that I used for my touch up work.

Nice Model A. This was dark blue to begin with, after chopping it I gave it this color. It's a $1.00 spray can from Ollies.

Cool build, even the tires look weathered. I like the Y block, and the crossover pipe feeding into the single stock exhaust. I see also that you used an original (or pre 1970's issue) coupe body. The rear window opening on those is much nicer than the newer ones.
