I wish I could take credit for the chopped top merc, but it's actually a box stock build. I used to do body mods (chop tops, flip front ends) but I don't have the time or patience anymore. I love that Model A woody! I've always wanted to try airbrushing but I wouldn't use it enough to justify buying all of the materials. Try this lacquer sometime, you'll be amazed at how nice it comes out.
