Looking good, Kevin.

One thing that you might want to consider is painting the grabirons black: many such cars, especially before WWII had the ironwork painted black - I think that it was because black paint was more durable than most other colours. Of course, if your paint scheme calls for yellow or boxcar red, use whatever is most appropriate.

the car had its cast-on grabs painted brown, and I will probably do the same.
