sliced and diced

I want to run a Model A shell on my Coupe project. Too many with Deuce shells. But I have always thought a stock Model A radiator shell on a hotrod had a bent look from the side. So I set out to fix that for mine.

I cut and tapered the front of the shell 5/8 inch to maintain a pleasing flow from the cowl thru the hood line to the nose. I cut out and replaced over 1/2 inch of filler someone had used in their attempt to fill the neck opening.

I also filled the crank hole that was also crudely filled.

Included is what I probably will use as a grill. I am also fitting a two piece hood top.

Looks like a sweet little hot rod.

I too am going to be using a modified Model A shell on my T Coupe. I am going to have to do some cutting to make it fit in the limited real estate in the front but I like your approach!  You ever going to get yours chromed or just painted when you finish?

Nice! I like what you're doing.
