Yup, way sharp! You might even cut yourself looking at it! LOL! I can't wait to see more!

Great idea, that’s some spindly frame, hate to see all that great work and have a wimpy looking weak frame under it. Just a little more trimming on that turtle deck and you’ve got it nailed. How much did you have to thin down that turtle deck? Had a few of his castings that were nearly unbuildable because they were so thick, that’s what burr bits are made for I guess! Keep up the great work, great ideas in motion!

As a former builder/owner of a full scale ‘27 Roadster I strongly approve of this project! After seeing what you did with that clunky old ‘32 kit I’m really looking forward to watching this one come together.

I like the up-top, it's sporty! The headers and tri-carb setup are perfect, and I love the way that '29 rolled pan looks.

Just don’t paint it green!
Seriously, this looks awesome. The side profile with the top on is perfect and very sporty looking indeed. The rolled pan and engine tweaks are killer, too. Saw off those molded taillights and replaced with the chrome ones from the AMT ‘32 5-Window.
You’re doing it again!!!

Coolsville! Great solution with the rolled pan! I'd like to see a mockup with the unchopped roof in place. The chopped roof is neat, but you are starting to get into Green Hornet territory. The engine fixes are perfect!

I'd like to see a mockup with the unchopped roof in place. Thanks again, guys! John, I first mocked it up unchopped, but it looked WAAAAAY too tall to me. Another option I'm weighing is to do a half-tonneau instead of an uptop.

I like the top. Good work.

This looks really good so far! I've always liked the look of the turtle deck on a Hot Rod. I think the proportions are just perfect with the chopped top on place. It looks really good.
