I'm not sure what I want I've been thinking about louvering the hood but I do like the 52 packard hood ornament the wings look like knife blades and unlike other years they are swept back also it would be an easy bolt on.

I love this car & the fact that you're keeping us up to date on its progress even after it's 'finished'.

Thanks!

This is a really cool build. you did a great job on it! Gotta know, where did you get the eyes for the window? I have been wanting to do that for my RV cause it looks like it was in "Cars".

Congrats on the trophy too!

Thanks for the offer I know theres a guy in Flint who does them for $1.50 a punch and a guy in Southfield who does them for $1.00 a punch. Flint is about 40 miles away and Southfield is about 100 miles away but I think it's more of a value to go to Southfield because that extra 50 cents adds up quick.

You got some really great prices but that's a long drive to get to your shop. Maybe I should invest in a press and start louvering seeing that I'm having trouble finding someone close I'm sure I'm not the only one around here looking for someone. How much does one of those setups cost?

I made the eyes with poster board, spray paint, and the round eye parts I made on the computer and printed it twice to make 2.
