Here's some shots of the rear. I have a T handle for the deck lid but it might make it too cluttered appearing.

Trunk handle? Don't know. I have a cabinet pull that resembles the license light. But, I like it bare.
More parts are finding their way onto the rig. The wood is stained and in place. Just got to bolt it in. Yes, it's an automatic trans, but I did some more trickeration with the clutch pedal and shifter. The emergency brake handle is the shifter. All just for fun.

The Model T headlights I intended to use didn't look right. I dug through my attic of treasures and found these 1929 Model A buckets. Bought sealed beam adapters and repro lenses. Much better. Also had to add leaves to the front springs to gain some axle clearance.

The deer in the pic has a broken leg. She has been bedding down 30 feet from our back door. The only predators she has to worry about are motor vehicles and one already found her. I put out corn and deer food and she seems healthy.

Thanks for the comments and for following along. I appreciate it. Lot of small tasks completed. More to go. My 81 year old body is holding me back a bit. Progress is slow.
 
More small stuff. Painted the home made windshield frame and made a tag board pattern for the Lexan windshield. Finished all the wiring. Just have to neatify some if it under the dash. I used new cloth covered wire where it it visible for a vintage look. Made a Garmin mount that bolts to the steering column. The engine is complete except for a starter.
