Panther? Or Hornet? Your build will be exciting to watch no doubt.
Post plenty of pics in your progress. Nice start so far
Well, I believe the frame came from a Panther due to the two tone green paint under the black repaint.
I’m shooting for what would be considered a Deluxe Hornet, but I don’t think they were called Hornets until the 1951 catalog?
I think it would technically be an equipped D-19 for the purists.
