Thanks Guys, its a 455 olds motor - the cowl and grille shell are from a 29 Durant. Im trying to make everything from scratch- body,frame, brackets, hallock style windshield- you name it!

Welcome to RRR, definitely a good looking build so far!

 

[RAVENS29]

Thanks Dirty rat. just wanted to add that the door skins are a re-pop model A . I dont have a english wheel ( or know how ) But had to have the crown , just extended it a few inches higher,than welded on some 2x3/16" for the body line. Also a picture of one of the cab corners and the last is what I started with. Prob should have made that also!! prob should start a build thread, I made sure that I took plenty of pictures.

Welcome to RRR! Cool project. I'd like to see how you've gone about what you've accomplished, so please start a build with lots of pics!

FYI, I've tried it, the plywood window idea doesn't work very well.
