for bobbed fenders and chopped tops are no rules except that they MUST have fenders and that the view thru the windows must be enough,so mailslot windows are a defenately NO NO and front needs wipers lol

Thanks for sharing with us. I really like your flip up cowl. What are you going to use as a sealer around the edges?

I've seen old footage of the Ford factory with Model A's on the assembly line, and it seems that main adjustment tool was a rubber hammer. Thanks for posting your build--nice to be able to observe fine craftsmanship.

Those are the type of body modifications that look the best . The type that are not immediately noticeable.I like to think of what you have done with the fender as 'refining the shape'.You have not made the car look different,just visually cleaner or more refined.Nice work!
