It looks decent enough.
Just curious, How does a person get into the back seat

Certainly not my cup of tea so to speak. I don’t find it at all attractive!

It appears they used tudor front seats to get access to the back seat. Kind of a mongrel.

It definitely looks different! It would be nice to see it in person and see how good a job was actually done on it.

This car is close to where I live so if anyone wants a Model A person to view it I will oblige. I don't do Facebook so you would have to provide the contact information.

OK, I see this was listed a week ago, so it may be gone.

I don't mind the look of the body. Just not a fan of colour choice.

I like it. It is different. I like to drive my A because it is different.The fabrication looks decent. The car looks decent. The price is reasonable. Someone expressed some personal skill. Agreed not for everyone. But I'm sure it made someone proud.

The wood was likely dumped in favor of some other form of structure. No telling how the sheet metal was redone. It may have a lot of bondo in that work. If it was done well then that would be one thing but if it wasn't then that would be another.
