Hot Rods Scallop ideas on a 34 3 winder

Gettin this delivered next week, thinkin about doin scallops or a type of So Cal 2 tone on it. It's matte black now and wanna leave the rear that. Got any pics or ideas on colors? All appreciated.
Will be changing out the tire wheel combo to 145's / red steelies on the front and 235 85/16's on the rear

 

I would just go with fish-n-chips.... Much tastier. Lol

 

And there are hundreds of comedians outta work, any U think yer funny?

 

Nice looking '34.Maybe do a suttle ghost effect?

 

That body style speaks volumes with out any paint. Personaly, I like 3w coupes one color, so it don't get the 80's look. It would be like a swimsuit model wearing a trench coat. This is the only pic I could find for inspiration.

 

I agree, but that is killer lookin, and was thinkin Maroon on the black won't jump @ ya either. It needs an interior and was wantin to do oxblood/maroon guts any way. Thanx for the inspiration.

 

That's such a good picture to work with, If it were me, I would post it on the photo shop thread and see what those guys could come up with. I am not any good with it. Nice car by the way.

 

There is a photo shop thread on it.

 

Any body else who ain't a comedian got any input or ideas. All appreciated. Thanx

 

I've always loved scallops I think your idea of ox blood and black will look killer maybe paint the wheels to match with a traditional Wimbledon white fire wall. Great now I have to go out in my garage and get busy on my 37 so i can someday make paint decisions. If you do paint it please post pics Thank you and Congrats on a Great car!! Jim

 

Do you have a rendering in photoshop of the socal layout?

 

I cant enlarge this pic, but you get the idea.

 

If you like camel toes...

 

I always liked the prehistoric first generation of flames...

 

I like the look the car has in one color, I know that's not any help. If I would do anything add some pinstriping to it. Bob

 

The reason you are having a difficult time deciding what it 'needs' is because it doesn't need anything. That is your good taste trying to tell you something. Listen to it!

edit: I am only referring to the exterior.....I like your plan for the interior.

 

I think turquoise and magenta swoopy flames with a beige tweed interior would be a fine addition.

 

Your smokin sum bad sh*t there Maynard

 

Sheldon has a hard time recognizing sarcasm too.......

Don
Don't worry bout no stinkin scallops just sell it

 

Not for awhile Gary, but I do want to sell my 34 roadster

 

He's not outa work. LOL


I would sweet talk one of the artists into scrawling you out some ideas.

If it was mine I would make them long and thin, maybe two colors to give them some dimension.

 

Well, these are both 1/25th scale, but nothing like a snap-kit to serve as a "paint mule!"

 

You must think you're funny, commenting on my powder coating oven thread asking if I was going to use it to cook bacon wrapped scallops.

 

Maroon pinstripe scallops, long, thin, bout 4-5 per side. Easy on the hood. Or, gloss black scallops w/maroon stripes on flat black. Or not...

 

I'm likin the gloss black w/maroon deal Lefty

 

Ya see, yer not the only comedian outta work.

 

I'm not out of work at all

 

Don, the only scallops I like are from the sea not those on thirties cars. Just my opinion. Your cars have always looked spot on without them.

Thinkin about addressing the body a little better , then shootin it in red oxide, the hell with the scallops.
Thanx for the Kudos Gary
