    I always liked the color match on the '29, but as metioned above - it has to please you - to heck with the rest of us hacks...

    ps.... am I the only one that cannot see the pics, just have the dreaded red 'x'

    Do you have a firewall?

    You need to clean out your cache and reboot.

    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.

    It could also be a filter for the word "s l u t" (I use my carclub website "fuelslut.net" to host all my photos)

    I like the painted shell. It really sets off the motor in contrast. Plus if you go with a 29 it will bolt right back into the old spot. No need to have to re fab a new shell to fit.

    I vote for the painted grill '29 grill shell. Here is a photo of my '29 roadster with a painted shell. I sold it in 2000 so I could start building my '32.

    I vote for the chrome smoothie. There's nothing like a chrome shell on a Model A.

    My 29 shell is painted to match the body. My 30 is polished stainless. Both look good (to me anyway), so it kind of depends on what you like.

    OK, I've tossed it around a bit and I've decided to go with a plated smooth style (no cap or crankhole)


    Now the question is where should I get it from?

    Speedway never got back to me when I inquired about a smooth style shell and I'd rather not deal with the folks of Fleabay

    I put a chrome shell on Sue's R/P, It looked better than a painted one.


    Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.
