Thanks for posting that John. That's a really neat car with some nice details. That's my favorite style to to see an early 30's car finished in.

I was just checking this car out again. I like that it still sits on on model A chassis. And are those torque tubes being used for the side exhaust pipes? The more I study this car, the more I like it. Do you have any interior shots?

I forgot to get an interior shot, but it was basic. Clean, but unupholstered doors, plywood floor, small bench seat upholstered with an indian blanket, Bell 4 spoke steering wheel on a Shroeder sprint car box. The back window and the two quarter windows had 1/2" hardware cloth screens instead of glass.

The exhaust side pipes appeared to be made from old torque tubes. The rear axle had a quickchange center section.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to chat with the owner.
