Hot Rods Making the Unexpected '34 my own

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by drdave, Mar 3, 2025.

  1. Well, no surprise to anyone who knows me, but the '34 still isn't back together yet. I haven't taken it further apart, so that would be a surprise to most. LOL Just been super busy with summer and home and lake projects (and finishing my shoebox kit for the Lead Ain't Dead Buildoff), so not too much shop time. @Tim did get to see it last week, so there is proof of life anyway. LOL I did get an evening last week to work for an hour or two and made a little progress. Hopefully after we get back from vacation, I can get it back together and back on the road. I have a friend from England coming in Oct and going to the Roc with us. With his knees not sure if it's better for him to get in and out of the Impala (which is what I have registered) or the '34, so kinda need to get it done by then for a backup just in case that's the better ride. LOL

    Since update posts with no pics are lame with no pics, here's the shoebox model finished. lol

  2. That's killer! I really want to do a fade paint job like that... I didn't start my shoebox build because I found out my presence is required at a relative's wedding the weekend of Lead Aint Dead...

    You do great work! Wish I were able to get to the show. Glad to hear 34 is still in the plans, if you ever get tired of it…………..!
     
  4. Thanks, but in full disclosure, it looks better in the pics....I had a fair amount of airbrush drama and feel blessed to have ended up with a presentable paint job after the mess I was making. Ha!

    I wish I was able to make the show as well.....we will be out of town so I'm gonna miss the whole deal. lol

    Not sure I'll get tired of the '34 any time soon, but I'd make you a deal on a '30 Model A Town Sedan. Hahaha!
