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.

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?
