We could pontificate all the finer details but in reality it’s the same as it always is. Wheels, tires, rake. get that right and not a lot of other things matter.
Personally I have always been a big fan of "swoopy" fenders! Gimme 20's and 30's full fender cars with the running boards! Give me a swoopy fendered Delahaye, a Dusenberg, a Cord, a Model T or A with fenders and running boards but that's just me! And I certainly like fender less but I'm mostly in the fender camp as shown by my profile picture.
I like them full fendered and this one does check all the boxes....Joey knows..... that said, a highboy sure is easier to walk up on to work on the engine....
I'd bob the rear fenders just enough; lose the bumpers; drop the headlights just a bit; tire rake and mild dropped front axle. Never been a fan of that style header.
I love it, very cool. I think the fenders are awesome just the way they are. Kinda like a mudflap to collect the burnt rubber.
Very cool. I’m with Bandit Billy on bobbing the rear fenders a bit, but I don’t think I’d change anything else.
The headers work on that car and are very traditional in my opinion. I think a lot of home built headers are of that style. Dan
Agree with the bobbed rear or tail pan to reduce the weird overhang created by eliminating the bumpers.
Very tasty for my liking. There are just certain touches that set our traditional first love affairs. I love this roadster.
I like the headlight buckets. They look more pointed than rounded, like 28-29, but the lenses aren't flat, nor are the stainless/nickel rims. I really like that combination. Of course the rake is just right.
