"Zactly what I was thinking :)

It's a real pleasure watching you do your thing ZZ. [cl[P:cool::cool:

Got some sheet metal work done, started with easy flat floor pieces, formed the driveshaft tunnel over - a driveshaft :) - took some grunting, 18 ga. is tougher to bend than 20 ga. but easier to weld without burning holes.[;)[;)
Made and installed the cowl skin, the filler pieces below the window frame I made from 1/8" plate and welded the skin on from the underside to it so there is no weld showing below the window frame..

What about brass cap nuts or brass pan heads, polished of course.

I like the brass, but not so keen on a bunch of fasteners on the surface. I may just grind some spots on the backside and weld studs on - not like its a fabulous paint job, a little sanding and a re-spray is not the end of the world, I just hate do-overs....
There will be more brass trim to come though, window frames and such - lots of ideas floating around in my mental toolbox...:rolleyes:

MercuryMac got me thinking about the 'looks too thick' stick for the Ford tranny, so I dug up the old shifter from my 34 Caddy project to graft onto the Ford end. Sometimes its actually worth hanging onto old stuff.

I think that's what I'll do on my A shell, welding studs on the back, except it's quite thin sheet metal so it will be a bit of a challenge.

Looking good, ZZ.
