Projects '34 with fender skirts. Whats your oninion?

I am wanting to throw this out to everyone here to see what the general concensus is.

I built this '34 street rod several years ago and it does nothing for me any more. I am just another candy coated car in a sea of candy coated cars.

I wanted to see if it could be changed into a custom-taildragger type of car. Rik and James D did some photoshoping for me,,,they do killer work and have great ideas! Much thanks goes out to them. THANKS!!!

Please give me your opinion, good or bad.

I like it!

 

IMO photo #3 is a great look Scott

 

I like the look, it's kind of gangsterish looking. If old gangsters drove Hot Rods that is.

 

#3 for me.

 

#3, rollin on 20 inch wheels isnt hot rod! my opinion...your car, do what you want!

 

I like the 34's..and all 3 look great
what doesnt do it for me in the 1st one is the thin walled tires, I would like to see some american racing TT15" in there with standard rubber..that to me would be the winner..jmo

 

That car looks as plastic as a Barbie Doll...I would sell it to a gold chainer and get Ford steel...again, my opinion....

 

Is this still the H.A.M.B.?

 

#3 cl***y and different!

 

#3 is a great look timeless

 

In 1949, you'd have seen that car in the 3rd photo anywhere there was a "hot car" culture. Parked in hundreds of gas stations in the East and Midwest.

 

number 3 says traditional.

 

Three is hawt. It looks like a silk cloak.

 

Pick up the most recent Rodders Journal and check out the article by Pat Ganahl on page 127. It's a missing roadster that's done like that. If that don't cinch it nothing will. I have a great set of real one bar flipper caps that I would sell off for that face lift. Third picture without the flames looks closer to coolness. If that is a gl*** car I would suggest going to the trouble of putting in a stock style chrome windshied frame for it to work right.

 

saw the thread ***le and thought "well, skirts on a '34 will look like a saddle on a sow"......then I looked th the pics..........#3 is really very cool......and different. I like it!

My vote would be Rikster's #3, and one way or t'other loose the tall wheels & modern mirrors. But, in the end it's whatever fries your bacon!

 

I personally think 34 Fords are better as Hot Rods and no fenders..but...I kinda dig yours w/ skirts and without the flames..I think it works!

 

BARF ! Fender skirts do NOT belong on anything older than a 50 style body.

 

I would have to see it in person,but #3 looks pretty cool in the picture. I have certainly never seen a '34 done like that.

 

#3 ghost flames need to be hambed just a touch

 

Count me in. Three. Very sleek and stylish, Very different, very traditional.
I like it!

 

Photo #3 is Out of this world good looking!

 

kinda like it

 

No; No I don't think so; Hell No.........

 

i thought this was gonna look like ***, but i love #3. but not repainting makes #2 a pretty good option. DO IT!!!!

 

It looks alot better than Rick Dores attempt. My dream build is a 34 of another make with skirts and a carson top.

 

#3 I'm with the guy who hates the mirrors, Head lights and rear tail light. I sort of agree about the looking very plastic. With those caps it needs more chrome on it to balance the look.

 

I think this is the look your going for, courtesy Rikster

 

Definately need some Appletons!!!
