1930 Roadster

Hi
my name is chris from Ontario Canada I have been helping a friend build a 27 roadster and got the bug and set out in a search for and old Hot rod and found this 1930 customized roadster owned by a 75 year old last week-end I just wanted to post a pic and and see what you all thought of this nailhead powered Hot rod! Got any paint ideas?
Thanks

 

Hurry buy it!!!!

 

What's not to like? Why paint it? Looks pretty cool to me.

 

welcome to the board... now get us some BIGGER pictures and lot's of 'em!! mike

 

Sorry about the pic size!
I picked her up on Wednesday steel body doors welded shut going through the wiring right now she has been sitting for a long time still runs great thought any one out there I can e-mail pics to post?help?

 

Send them to thirty coup. He alwas does mine for me and he wants them. LOL Realy he won't mind. Nice car good luck with it and get them pics, to thirty coup. Jerry

 

hope this is bigger

 

sooooooooo whats the story on 'er

 

My first thoughts at looking at the car.
Loose the air cleaner.Change the hubcaps.(can't stand snap on moon disc's)

You could continue,replace the rear fenders with A fenders,bobbed.
Paint it black.

 

I dig the paint,but you could tape out some flames and paint the back half of the car black,unmask the flames and have some nice flames!!!!
I think the headlights are a tad high from where I sit....anyways....I'd buy it!

 

Bad ride!!
Blue Maybe???

 

That things got a great stance! Just my $0.02, but solid light yellow, without the back fenders and air cleaner. Maybe spring for wide whites, and your done.

 

Just messing with the picture.

edit to Dirty2:
Tried to do it in black but it's just too hard to do and make it look right.
I don't want to take that kind of time on it!

 

Better ! Now do it black.

 

I wouldn't change a thing. It has a lot of .... what's that word... ?

soul. Leave it be for a while and get to know it. The right changes will come to you when the time is right. Don't rush.

 

Where in Ontario are you and where did you find it? Any history to it?

 

i live in Mississauga (GTA). I found the car in a small Hamilton cl***ifid add, was told it is a local Paris ontario and it is a one owner car that it was built in the late 50's or 60's, still trying to get more pics and info from from the guy. he said he has pics from the build and over the years, hope to get them.

 

Is the old guy the original builder? If so does he have any pics from earlier years? Maybe you could return it to an earlier version. If no pics just ask him about how it started out and progressed.

 

Looks like we posted at the same time, good luck!

 

hey that car looks like the one that just moved in down the road!


wait it is! nice meeting you guys the other day, the car look great in person. wanna trade? hahha. see you soon
