    The first red coupe is well proportioned but I can't guess how many inches the chop is. How can there be zero views when I have just looked at all three?

    It's 4 inches. Here's the site with the whole story; http://www.classicroad.com/modelA/index.htm

    I was looking over this car last Saturday (again) and it's VERY well done.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    That coupe is flat out beautiful. So simple but well done and traditional.

    The video in the pictures you posted is cool too, Bob.
