    “Hard to beat this combo. Chrome 16×4 Ford wheel with Duvall hub cap. According to the article in the Rodders Journal issue 51 by Pat Ganahl the Wes Collins roadster was sporting this combo.”

    When aluminium is polished like that it looks liquid.

    After giving up to get his hands on a brass DuVall windshield to fit his ‘34 Ford, Msrk decided to create his own windshield in steel.

    Nice. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

    Gee that came out nice.  Can’t tell if that is aluminium or stainless? I think ally. I thought about doing the nose like that but shaping the 6mm Stainless in a compound was nearly impossible.

    I think it’s just mild steel and he’ll get it chromed.

    6mm Stainless in a compound was nearly impossible.

    Use some thinner material for that part like Mark did.

    Not that I think you need to.
