Since everyone wants to incorporate there own copper coin into the car. You should definitely do 1 of 2 things.

A) Have us all send you a copper coin and make a sweet license plate frame using the coins you recieve.

B) Depending on what steering wheel you use (nardi for instance) make a custom insert and put the coins in there

What better way to make us a part of your build. Then I can also own .000000001% of your car if you put my penny on it. So it's techinically mine at least 1 weekend out of the year.

What if I create clips for them and put them all in my grille just like all those german badges that everyone puts in the grille of these cars?

I like that one a lot. Definitely let me know if you still have one. I'm going to see how many I can get together for this.

The last picture you posted is absolutely insane. i LOVE it!

Another night and a lot more progress. The exterior perimeter has been shaved of all holes from the chrome trim and the holes filled for the amber marker lights/antenna. Oh and I lost my lighter so we learned how to light a cigarette with a welder

I actually really like that idea as well. Something easily removable/ unique

I don't envy trying to get all that straight in bare metal... Looks freaking killer!

All I can say is I'm so glad I'm painting the engine bay rather than leaving it raw. Although by now I've mastered the ball peen hammer mixed with flap wheels and finishing wheels, then wire brush.

Let me bring one of my cars over to your workshop. If I leave it there long enough maybe something cool will happen to it. You are a fairy mod-mother.
