I know I am asking allot of paint and body question, but this is an area where I have very little experience, and it is too expensive and too much work to have to do it over, so I hate to get it wrong. I think I may have messed up. My original running boards were welded at the front...

After reading through the repro fenders posts I think I have decided that my original 1930 68B front fenders (both with spare wells in them), through a bit rough, should be saved. I am no body man and would like to know of any one knows a good Model A body man in Illinios, Iowa, Indiana, or...
