Hello From Flagler Beach FL
 

Ive been messing with cars and boats for years but really only on the mechanical side. I just bought a 1928 Model A dirt track car and learned that part of the body has been replaced with fiberglass over the years. Looking to recreate the tail of the car in metal and thought this might be a good place to start doing my homework and or find someone locally that can help me.

Welcome to the forum John. Visit often and post when you can.

Thank you for the welcome Will! .. here are a couple pics of the car.. I look forward to any advice.

Wow! That's how those vintage race cars should look. Very impressive.

Welcome to the forum, John.

I'm betting there will be lots of folks happy to see those pics- what a cool car.

Thanks guys.. appreciate the kind words and warm welcome. Just got dragged out of a barn in Kansas and should be here next week. Lets hope the wife shares your enthusiasm :)

Hi John welcome to the forum
Peter

Looks to be a lot later than a 1928. Head rest on the tail was a much later idea. Also the high up location of the hand brake does not look like anything a race car driver could use while going into a corner.

Do you have any history of the car?

Agreed on both points Richard.

Hence my statement above and my reason for the joining the forum

Thank you Peter
