Art & Inspiration Hotrod paint progress for my '31 "The Roadtoad"

I don't mind the more understated two tone combos. Green on green, brown on brown with a little black. I think the black top on a blue body would look unbalanced without black fenders. But in the end its your car, so do do what you will be happy with.

 

No chance of putting fenders on it now! It's turning out just the way I wanted...

 

Here's some better pic's...

 

Lookin good , great tire combo

 

Finished the masking and painted the trunk and the drivers side windows. All that's left is the rear window and then the scuffing to knock the shine off.

 

Looks cool daddio.

 

Damn Bob... looks great!

 

looks bitchin... great idea for the windows!

you gonna paint the engine too?

 

ot had that name painted on the front fenders of a 48 plymouth cpe back in the day probably the same reason u used it looked like a toad ready to hop

 

Actually,my last name is Rhoades,so my friends called me Roadtoad...

 

No, we actually call you, "Twotone" now .

 

Would that be Tommy Two-tone? hahaha!

 

Got me some of the new SoCal rear shocks yesterday. What a huge difference in the ride! Definately recommend them! Also picked up the new Lokar drilled spoon gas pedal. Should work nicely with the drilled shifter i'm making. I'll post some pic's when I get them installed.
There's still plenty to do...

 

Looks good Bob. I may have missed it, what process/ product are you using for paint?

-mikethegreek-

 

Good ol Rustoleum,hahaha!!! Cheap fun....

 

Spray? Brush/roll?

 

Just spraycans....real high tech stuff!!!

 

looks great ..what paint did you use ...it was coverd

 

Check out these badass headlights I got at the swapmeet today! They're off a 30 something French car...

 

Got this new gas pedal,from Lokar...

 

Nice bean masher man!

 

Your '31 is looking great. I love the fact that you've kept it simple. It reminds me of Jake's tub, just looking at it makes you want to go out and drive the wheels off of it. Nothing but pure fun!

 

Thanks...I wanted to find a driver,to see if I would like a Hotrod. Ever since seeing Chris Casny's Coupe,I wanted to build one. It just happened to work out with GassersGarage,that he wanted my son's Shoebox and I was looking for a Hotrod. It's great cause the car needed NOTHING! I just didn't like the way it looked. It's coming along nicely,a little at a time. Chris is right...there's nothing like driving a Hotrod!

 

We're expecting rain the next few days,so I made the Coupe a raincoat!!!! the only piece of sheetmetal was too narrow,so I had to get by with what I had. It should work fine. Plus I can use it for a template later...

 

well Bob- you got the eye for this stuff.. a road toad should be a mix of toad green smushed on tar black

 

Wow, where have you been? The Roadtoad is down the road............

 

wellllll, hit the thread by accident- been involved in some drama on another about a two tone paint job.. there was a decidedly differant take on that poor guys questian.. but since it was BOB's car and he's got some good ones I read everything--but the post date. sorry...... nice car bob

 

the green is bad ass! it needs some pinstriping though...maybe a lime green or a lighter green stripe to make it pop

 

Yep,it's down the road now.....and the new owner already fucked it up,haha! I saw it through traditional eyes and he sees it through beer goggles....

 

SIGHTING OF THE ROAD TOAD. Today here in Bakersfield at the DMV hahahahaha. He has another Hambers old car also he completely changed it too But hey its all whatever makes the owner happy. A Hamber got to ride in it and he said man that thing is built to race. No pics but just so you all know its not really the way as it has last been seen here, it has white spots now where the green has been sanded down.-Weeks
