    Subtle always beats "in your face". A very fitting addition to a cl***y ride.

    Nice work gentlemen.
     
  9. So Von Franco actually managed to pull this one off then without leaving his dirty fingerprints all over the place? ;)

    That's damn cool. Fits the rod. Keith is a hell of a good guy and his rides are righteous. Ryan is a pretty standup guy also.

    Looks good Ryan. Nice and subtle.

    But, here's a slightly O/T question but regarding lettering and fonts - how come the Alliance big tops don't get the new bigger bolder red fonts? Seem like you guys need even bigger and bolder, not same as the non-alliance types. Just a question out of curiosity more than anything - ***uming you did that on purpose.

    I was guessing there was plan behind the madness and for a good reason. Keep up the good work regardless.
     
  17. I like the lettering. Nice and subtle like what i had done on mine.
    Later,

    man, it's one of those things that I would be soo scared to do to my car! Not sure I would ever be able to pull the trigger....

    But hat's off to you guys! looks good! very subtle. In lettering and pinstriping, I'm a big advocate of the less is more thinking(atleast with hot rods, customs have at it). restraint is a good thing sometimes and it looks great! cool to see the process of the different fonts..

    Why didn't you run the engine a bit to make it more of a challenge of keeping his elbow off the headers. Well great job anyway.

    I should have been more specific, I think the car stands alone and is unmistakeable....timeless. I dont think it needed a name on it, but its the owners decision. I believe this car will stand the test of time, and in generations someone will say,"hey isnt that the Tardel-Cochren coupe?" like you can tell the Chrissman coupe, the Tommy Foster roadster, and so on. I am sorry for the confusion, I didnt mean to sound like a ****.

    later

    gotta agree with cheater on this one. i was drooling over this car long before i knew Ryan or this site. the car was then and is now one of my favorite model A's hands down. tattoo work belongs on skin, my opinion. just being honest.
