29 Ford with 33 polished sides (Nuts or Nice)

I've ordered up some 33 sides with curved louvers for my 29. The car will be black and I'm planning on polishing the sides. Nuts?

 

Looks good. Matches the cowl.

 

More, Lots of fitting to do.... BTW I have a terrible problem uploading more than one photo??

 

Another pic with the fenders on

 

I loooovvve it

 

Looks good with the fenders..............now about the curtains. Bob

 

No disin' the wife now. She needs to have some say in the garage ya know.

 

Yea, but do you have any say in the house?

I'm liking the build, but it just seems to me like the louvers are angled wrong for the car. Just looks a bit out of place.

 

I like different and different is good.....this is different!

 

I kinda think what you are seeing is the straight line where the hood meets the cowl. I'm thinking I may change that line to match the louvers and cowl bead?

 

29 Ford with 33 polished aluminum hood sides. Question: Do I paint the hood sides or polish the aluminum hood sides? The car will be black with polished American Wheels. My gut is to polish the sides or just polish the louvers in the sides of the hood.

 

Just noticed the door work, that looks very nice. Bob

 

Good and sides look perfect. And same with the hinge work.

 

Paint the hood sides...

 

Looks good. Swoopy. I saw the same treatment on a '29 years ago...once. I think they were original sides...even had the curve at the bottom and the inner fender Looked darned good, and I think yours will too. We have often seen a polished aluminum hood top with no sides. If the top of the hood is gonna be black, I'd paint the sides too. But don't listen to me...finish it how you like it.

 

Works for me, very nice car. JW

 

Always loved 33 sides on a model A

 

dont worry about the curtains , my wife had me put up some levealor blinds , that way she can pull the blinds when she wants to bring me a little snack

 

I like the idea of changing the line where the hood meets the cow. Don't polish the sides, that will take away from the lines of the car.

 

paint the sides, polish the lovuers. RD

 

I vote for painted sides. Let the louvers be a semi-hidden touch that just adds to the whole effect. Sometimes an unusual addition just slaps you in the face and tends to look out of place instead of just adding to the overall design.

 

Paint (and maybe pinstripe) the louvers. No polish. That would be overdoing it.

 

X2, the second glance will tell you! Subtle wins in my book.

 

I like the 33 curved louvers too

 

I like it

 

Exactly what kind of "snack" is she bringing you ??????

yeah id paint them, they work well with the fenders and the photo of the red one pushes the point even further. i think all of the other ideas make the little hicups in the flow i.e. the cowl line jump out instead of getting pushed back.

should be cool
