    How do I vote for a tractor grill?
    You also need more rust on you rat rod, and that shifter is way too short.










    But really, the A grill looks great, Do you have a 30-31 to try on for ****s and giggles?

    I love the 32 shell. That is what I have on my A. But the way you have your A set up I would run the 29 A shell. I think it looks cleaner and flows better.
     
  3. I have ALWAYS thought 32 grilles looked like *** on model A's the A grill really sets off the front of the car with the stainless/chrome look.if ya gotta have a 32 grill build a belly****on 32.............JMO

    the A,seems to go better with the lines of the car as a whole. the 32 on a 29 is way over done.your call

    Like Betty or Veronica or Ginger vs MaryAnn. But, I always went for Veronica nd MaryAnn-I would use the '29-looks like it is made for your car.

    No no no.... run the 32 shell and sell me the 28/29! :D

    I like the 32 shell on that car, for sure. I mean, it has a heavy axle, juice brakes, etc. It's not a gow job, it's a hot rod.

    if you run a hood, use the 29. Thats is hands down one of my favorite cars on the road right now, I love it and it is the screen saver on my phone, computer, and ipod, but the hood just made it the best car EVER! haha

    I need a lot Zach :D

    Yeah, with no radiator or hood latch shelfs the grill will sit probably another 1" higher...I'll mock it up a little higher and get some pics tonight.


    I bought that 32 grill at the Portland swap meet a couple years ago and it was my favorite addition to the car...but now I just dunno. Somthing about the stocker just screams "GOW"

    If you don't sell the 29 grill to Brent you have to use it.

    The A grill makes the front wheels look like they are out front farther, which looks racey to me...

    maybe thats what your seeing?

    also, your gona need one of these roadsters on a '32 frame too, right? :D

    This thread has reminded me that I knew precisely **** about hot rods, but I have learnt through it. I now know the difference between a deuce grille and an A grille, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    A part of me wants to say the A shell since it's got less "face" and is a bit faster looking but the majority of me says '32 Grille shell and don't look back. I sit here looking at the HAMB calendar with that pic of your roadster in it and I think to myself....does it get any better?

    You always end up doing the opposite of what I say so voting it futile for me but I did and it went to the '32.
