Just my .01 worth.
I'm gonna get some square wheels and tires to balance it out.

While I do like the different diameter dimple die cut panel (would be really cool on the right old hot rod - kinda seeing like a slat flats theme), I have a bug up my azz about making this mesh grille (minus the big shell):


I just cut the squares in the acrylic to squint and get a feel for the 1913 grille shape in mesh.

You comin' to Columbus this summer, with the '32?
