Squeek Bells roadster

 

I like any 1910,20,30,40,50s car made into hotrod or custom, although they often are not done as I would have !
My own 28A Bob Tail Roadster,dose not fit some others ideas ether.
I still like them, even seeing and knowing the parts I'd not done that way !
The closer they are to how I would of, makes me look longer .
Finding the owner at a show can be a fun talk.
I try to be careful about talking of.all about any parts,I would not of done that way.; But now an then owner or builder brings up one of them; So I need to bite my lip or,try for what I hope is help info wise!
Having started my self, building rods an custom in the 1950 n on, telling how it really was back then,can be way off,what they think it was like. So have to judge if, I should even say anything at all. Funny part is,very often they are fully in love with something very distorted with new BS, from what it really was. Very tricky,if they ask,to point out real from new bubble of over used BS,if they are in LOVE with the DISTORTED way ;that is kind of commonly seen now.
Many old photos,looked at with out understanding of the time taken,are misread as something its not showing.

Still ,it's all fun in many ways.
@ 83,ya ,my views come from a time an angle,some times not known by younger builder or owner.
I thank each, for helping keep a love ,I too still have ,alive. Thanks one an all !
Happy New Year
