Model A Shaping
Model A's are relative easy panels to make since the amount of shaping is low compared to later cars. This is a good project to start on. Happy metal shaping.

Welcome
Making a Cobra nose for a wall hanger sounds like a great project, maybe I will take this idea and make a similar item for my shop walls.

Too Old?
How old is too old to gain new skills and knowledge. I started metal shaping at age 62 and for the last 5 years I have improved my technique and results on metal greatly.

Sweeps
Patman is advertizing now that at Imperial Wheeling machines there is a 10% off sale. He has sweeps at a very attractive price, I own a set myself and use them often.

Inner Structure of the hood
This gives me some ideas on how to construct the trunk lid on the custom I am working on. My part will be much less complicated than the hood you made but the structure will apply.
