I appreciate the time you took to do this...Could we do one more with the car in maybe the gold color with a different color flaked roof?or maybe flatten the paint that is on it now and keep the roof the same as it is. Do you have any ideas on a different grille treatment?
I went the the Detroit autorama and was blown away by your cars in the basement....these are really cool cars... many of your cars use grills/hoods from trucks and tractors.... this got me thinking about building a car looking like a 1912 Indy 500 Stutz BearCat racer or a Model T speedster using the 1940's & 1950's Ford 8n Tractor grill, hood, radiator, head lights, and and rear fenders to build a speedster type street rod. it would use these sheetmetal Ford 8n components and a Model A frame and supension or a 2x3 tube frame with a hot rod suspension, Like on the Speesters there would be no cowl or fire wall, and no body,,,just 2 bomber type alluminum seats set between the rear wheels and the ford 8n rear fenders. The car would be LOW ( about 4 inches off the ground) and long. These 8n tractor sheetmetal parts are plentiful and Cheap, either used or reproduction. Here is a link with lots of pictures with Ford 8n tractors with Flathead V8's and Chevy V8's,,,Does someone know how to modify these photos so that they would look like a speedster, long and low with tall white wall tires? here is the link with lots of pictures.... http://home.att.net/~jmsmith45/optmisc.htm http://home.att.net/~jmsmith45/opt.htm here is the link with Ford 8n Tractor sheet metal parts New and Cheap http://tractorshack.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=47&osCsid=8121dc8a1b8fa356c0830d 94da7424cb
Here's what I need to see. My light grey 55 is getting a dark grey bottom, with a silver flake top, everything from the belt trim line above. The typical two-tone 55 style. Then I have these radir's and whitewalls to put on her. Can someone put it together? The dark grey picture is Brandy's 55. Put a silver flake top side on her and the Radirs, get the bumper out of the dirt, and you'll have what I'm building now.
Someone emailed me about photoshop and I accidentally deleted it. Whoever that was can you send it again? Sorry...
That's some crazy bodywork... 4dr to 2dr, WOW! Here's a rough one... I think that this car deserves some sort of style other than plain steelies... maybe some of my favorite 57 Lincoln, 52 Buick, or Caddy sombreros, something to go with the clean lines.
this might be the most hideous thing ever, but i'd like to see a 32-34 ford truck cab with the back of an "a" coupe grafted on, kinda 5 window style, and mabye one with just the back minus the quarter windows, like a 3 window. i know it sounds weird, i just wanna see it.
heres on for you. take that 54 chevy truck youve been doing, use this chop. dark grey roof with the rest royal blue. i dont want any running boards and the bottom of the front fenders match the bottom of the cab. no front or rear bumpers and no rear fenders. and also make the bed as short as you can that will still look mean. try and put he truck as low as you can. that should keep you busy fro a while. thanks.
