Hot Rods Fenderless Rods Chassis Color, Black or Body Matching?

1929 ford niagra blue

 

Boy that black chassis sure looks nice with the dark blue. I'm going with dark blue on my 31 coupe and was going to color match the chassis. This sure turned my head around !

 

If you can't decide, paint the body black, and chassis to match !

This works for me on this car, but on a gow job it would be a different story. I love the model A in the first pic. jim32

 

This is my old mans. Body colored frame and powder coated satin black suspension.

 

I'm with PnB on this one. From a strictly practical point of view, I need to get the frame dialed in before I do the body and paint work on the car. I can't plan far enough ahead to know what color the car will eventually be, so black always works. Besides, the black frame just says that you mean business. Harder to make that statement when everything is all pretty and matching.

 

Hmmmm beer flavored Ice cream.

 

Black frame with a color body shouts traditional, particularly with green or blue. But I've seen some very nice frame matching cars. ( When I was a lush, I liked Miller light over Fruit Loops cereal.)

 

^^^^^^ Breakfast of Champions right there!

 

My view also.

My problem when deciding on mine, was I really don't like dark paint colours but prefer the look of a black frame etc.
The paler body colour won the fight, so my frame will be coloured matched.

 

my coupe is channeled frame is body color

 

Take your pick?
We aren't allowed to run without fenders of some sort, you get the idea

 

How about neither?

 

Awesome! What is that color, I may want to steal it from you and use it. Got a link to more pics?

edited: Found your album, very nice. I love that car. I do really like that color.

 

I totally missed your question, my apologies. My Model A blog has tons of pics, but its a Ford 9" with a transverse leaf spring. Since I re-purposed my old bucket frame you can see it in this pic next to the body.
