Just a couple of questions.

1. I have seen Model A Owners have the 'shadow-box' style of toolbox to display all the old tools for the Model A (Jack, Grease Gun, etc)

- does anyone have dimensions or drawings on how to construct said box?

2. Front Bumper seat. Made out of wood and goes over the front bumper as a seat and/or table.

- Does anyone have plans for this?

Thanks!

I'm not sure of the dimensions but the shadow box is relatively easy to build. I have built several for knife displays, baby clothes etc. I lay everything out how I want it to be displayed. take measurements from that will give you the size. I usually use oak flooring as the material. I can cut 1 side of the groove off to make a recess to hold the back panel. I cut the corners at 45 degrees and use small ratchet straps to glue and shoot finish brads in them. Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I hope it helps.
 
I use 2" wide and 3/4 thick. By the time I plane the back side smooth, it's down to about 1/2" thick. After you put the finish on it, it makes a very nice presentation. Plus with flooring is kiln dried so there isn't any warping in the future. I go to Walmart and pick up colored felt and use spray on adhesive to cover the back panel.
