Hot Rods 32 dude has a new pair of shoes

i am always amazed how a set of wheels can change a look of a car. dad bought a polished set of old magnesium halibrands to swap back and forth on his roadster.

here is the before and after.

***JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE DID NOT POLISH THE PREVIOUS WHEELS***

 

ah magnesium, nothing better! Looks great both ways

 

Nice! I was a huge fan of the dark wheels but the polished look a bit more appropriate on that car with it being a really really nicely built roadster.

 

Sweet!!!

 

Nice!
I love Halibrands! (as you can see)

 

Try the tall black wires on it.

 

not mine! the last time i did that i had to build me another pair.

Just a personal preferrence; I'd have to stick with the unpolished version, but that car looks GREAT with ANYTHING! And yes, I'd like to see it with the black wires too.

 

I have seen the 32 ( in person ) with the unpolished ... but I LOVE the shiny ones better

 

Lovin` the unpolished...not so much the shinies....but unless you are a polishing addict, they`ll soon be dark again..lol.

 

Looks great with the polished Halibrands.

 

Hands down, looks better with the polished Halibrands. Good move!

 

Looks Great!!

 

Polished looks good, but I also like the rough gasser look too. BTW, those narrow front wheels are worth a small fortune.

 

Polished! perfect color choice on the car as well...

 

Perfect!

 

Oh btw, i just spent some time on your website and it's great. I really liked your write up on your son driving the '32.

 

Lookin good!

 

Like the polished look. What size wheel and tire is on the front?

 

I like shiney. LOVE the car! Nice green color....any info on that?

 

135-15" on a 15x4

I second that motion!!! C'mon Danny, do it just for shits and giggles...I'd love to see it.

 

1939 Ford gull gray with some green added . Pictures of the chassis on our web page www.brucesrodshop.com Thanks Bruce

 

Hey Larry the wires won't fit on the front because of the Brrrrrruick brakes, I have some 16 and 18 black steel wheels with ribb and dirt tracks tires that I will try from the primered roadster.

 

is that a stock height windshield? looks great

 

Polished is good but I'm sure glad it's your dad doing it not me. Been there and in this Nebraska weather they turned dark everytime you turned around.

 

Yes stock height windshield

 

My preference is the polished! Save the unpolished for a coupe!

 

Looks great Danny . Glad you left the others alone !

 

Looks great Danny. Glad you didn't polish the other set !
