    I guess I'd have to look at a bunch of hoodless 33-34's to figure it out -- but how can you hide that awful-looking zig-zag firewall contours on these model cars? Is all of the room there for foot room? Is it there to hold up a battery. Can someone figure out a way to hide this wart?

    Hello friends, I was wondering (dangerous thing sometimes) if someone could please take one or both of these old images of Larry Watson’s shop front and erase the cars in the original image and add any of these images of my ‘46.
    It would mean a lot to me because I have known Larry since I was a child and we were with him at a Rod Run the weekend before he passed. He helped me figure out the color of my car back in the day and it might be cool to have a fantasy picture like this.

    IMG_7526.jpeg IMG_7529.jpeg IMG_7848.jpeg IMG_7766.jpeg View attachment 6065191 I am still trying to find the right color for my ‘31 Pontiac and could use some help. The top insert, firewall, and interior will be a vanilla white and the body, frame, and headlights will all be the same color shiny paint.
    Here’s my car and the 2 colors I would like to see on it if possible. Thank you in advance!

    Hey, could someone please help me visualizing my ideas? I'm thinking about installing black aprons on my channeled 5 window. If someone could make them same black as the grill and get rid of the stones to see how it will look when its painted?

    Also, a second one with the aprons plus a scallop paint job (see picture below) would be great. Thanks a lot

    Those splash aprons will hang too low.

    . . . might work a little better with a black firewall. Old cars with 3-tones sometimes look too busy.

    Yeah, the black firewall helps a bit...

    Aprons on an A w/o fenders look decent, but only when it's closer to stock-ish height. Those're just too close to the ground. Makes the coupe look like either the frame or springs are broken. Only my lousy opinion, but look back at the stuff from the 'lakes n such, circa mid 30's->late-ish 40's . Those set good examples, visually.

    Cut the aprons half in height -- cool!

    . . . I kinda like the aprons on that car -- maybe even better extended behind the rear tires.

    I'll do something but it may take a while. This isn't as easy as most requests.
    Wouldn't be surprised to see Moose or some of the other guys come up with something too. I'll bet they will all be quite different form one another.
