    #3 kinda partial to tail draggers
     
  2. no. 3, very nice. car, congrats.
     
  3. So many are built as a sled, (which is cool), it would be nice to see it as a rod. That being said it is yours, and you need to only make yourself happy.

    My '36 3W will be a Hot Rod and I will be happy.

    Of course it's just my opinion....
    I like 35-36 5 windows as hot rods and 3 windows as tail draggers.
    NO NOT chop it! It's not neccesary. Use the money to give it the Westergard look. That body is classic. White walls and ripple disc caps.

    Number 3. I believe anything after '34 should be a custom, Westerguard style for sure.

    You picked a good one (and a famous one) to base your build off of. That car is perfect, just make yours look like that one and you can't lose.

    I prefer 1 or 2.. not sure about customs as they seem to be a bit too common for these cars..

    I would be careful about chopping it because there is a few chopped cars which just dont look right or they only look good rfom a certain angle. I think chops knock the proportions of them all to cock.

    I prefer # 2.
     
  19. That car is ugly. You need a hot rod.

    I have three that I will trade you for that one, I'm serious.
