lowered front of the hood 3'' and made it more curvy(curvier?) will cut opening for radiator, figure out a bumper and decide weather it needs an air dam or not (the whole front is like an air dam)

I like woodies, too!
That's a 1922 Hacker Craft, with a Liberty aircraft engine. V 12 SOHC, with 5" bore and 7" stroke, for 1,649 cu. in. displacement.
No, the rocker covers aren't missing. That's how it runs . . . with exposed rockers and valve springs. And how about those "Opti-sparks"?

And, how did you construct the wood form you're using to carve it out? That ALONE -- looks like a feat! Especially since it' looks like the slats on the first clipboard I made in wood shop ... in Jr High! In other words...not even carved from solid boards?
