My next 32 project. 4DR400

Give me your thoughts on my next project.
A. do i do a fold-able top like the B400
B. removable top
C. fake top

thanks for your input

 

It would be a shame to do all that work... & then fake it or take the easy way out.

I vote for "A".

(I love the concept)

Do a foldable top. it would be so cool!! It would be so doable

 

Here is a picture of Steve Stanford hard at work on my curant project. Rocket 32 I will post some pic's next week

 

^^^ What he said...

 

I like the artist's rendering.......The only concern with a folding top is that it's so clumsy when folded.Living in So. Cal. you might consider a lift off aluminum framed top....Mike

 

Extremely cool, doing something original and tasteful on a '32 is not an easy task. I think either A or C, just depends on whether you want an open or closed car.

Foldable!

 

i would fold it

A

 

Do it all the way or dont do it at all.

 

Folding top would be really cool but not easy.....

The roof on my T is a fake but has fooled a lot of people so thats the easy way out!!

 

That is one fine looking concept! The top must fold though, anything else just seems like second rate. I've been interested in a similar concept,for my early Chevrolet. The roof is a separate piece already, i must see if i can post a better view than i have, so the fine artists on the HAMB,can have a stab at it.

 

Maybe some sort of sliding rag top...kinda like gasit's idea in the last art challenge.



It might be kinda hard to get the bows to make the corner at the back doors though.

 

mine made with a vw bug top.. on a 29 sedan

 

You could call it a "Sport Sedan". The top never folded on a Sport coupe and nobody ever called it a fake.

Personally I think they look like **** when folded and I'd never put it down if I could. Think VW convertible with the top down.

 

I thought of Tommy's sport coupe when
i saw your concept,,,,,man
i love the idea,,,go for it! HRP

 

It really doesn't matter, you've got Steve's art, that should do it!

The auto factories have made faux tops in the past as well as, I'm sure, now. Why not build a solid top and utilize an aftermarket slider? The front edge of the rag would go to the windshield header and the sides would be at the "factory" hem lines. The whole schpeel would bunch between the rearmost "bow" and the one just ahead of it. Adding an extra bow (4 instead of 3) would allow the use of a 3 fold VW style top.

Whatever, it's gonna make for an awesome foor-door hot rod!!

 

Any pics of the actual project?

 

I vote for the Hemifarris option.
