Featured Art & Inspiration The Old Friday Art Show

Is this something new?

 

Hello,

The 1935-36 Fords have a place in our arsenal. The roadster pick up styling has been in the top two hot rods for my brother and me. We needed a car, truck, station wagon to transport various parts and wheels/tires.

The trunk and interior of the 58 Impala as a tow vehicle was not going to get it in the long run. So, we had already planned on a 55-56 Chevy two door station wagon, but that fell through our plans. Then, talk of a panel truck was nixed as too large to maneuver in our tight, narrow driveway. We still liked our friend’s 34 5 window coupe and almost bought it for me.

The style is the first step away from the style of the swept back racy 33-34 Ford models. As in most designs, similar style in some parts allow a little throwback and cost effectiveness of the parts warehouses. So, in making a nice 35-36 Ford Roadster Pick Up, several colors and old school looks seem appropriate. Plus, it would not be something that was so popular as a Model A RPU or any later version of the Ford hot rod lineup.

A new top design so as not to feel closed in and give a much better side views when driving. No blind spots with the top up or on, if it is a one piece California Top. Plus, the sides would be easier to cover if inclement weather popped up on the Westcoast.

Got my attention, good morning !

 

Happy (FAS) Friday to all of you!
Thanks from Dennis, to all that contribute to this weekly forum!

 

Yeah Jeff, I just got up, so here's an oldie from me.

 

not quite finished....

 

I bought this Harley Superglide FXE new and have been riding it for the last 48 years. After a couple of years I decided it needed a bit of a custom touch on the tank so I got out the pinstriping brush and this is what I came up with.

 

The car I'll be driving in the year 2000.

 

Well, since it's the "old" Friday Art Show, here's some scratch art I did in high school.... if a C2 Corvette isn't HAMB appropriate, feel free to remove it and I'll post something else....

 

LOL. Everything I post on the FAS is old stuff.
How about some REALLY old art ? (from high school)
After 50+ years, most of it is in poor condition

 

I got out the way back machine. Found this from grade school? Yeah, I was one sick little puppy.

 

Appropriate for our weather here today
