Projects Put a little shine on the 32...............

I decided a couple weeks ago, I was going to tear the roadster apart and start refining a few things that didnt suit me when I built it this spring. So I started with the body and I planned on just respraying the red oxide, but before I was done it was shiney black. Check it out , Im thinkin I might put steelies back on maybe a cream color to match the top maybe black, not sure yet kinda like the 5 spokes too. Planning on making some changes, adding a couple numbers to the doors and lettering, maybe lakestyle headers and a few other changes.................any ideas, probably stay with a 60s style.

1st picture was in may after getting it together.
2nd picture was after the top and I sprayed a little black and color sanded till it rubbed through.
3rd today after I rooled it out after paint.

 

Looks great!!!

 

wow, looks great. slick and straight and its black.

 

Looks quality , gloss black always looks good when done right , excellent.

 

I like it very much. It seems to become an entirely different car when the "shiny" is on there.

 

some people have all the luck. looks great man.

 

You got my attention when you painted the roadster BLACK. It's looking very nice and the cream wheels will too. Very cool...

CRUISER

 

looks killer!

 

its purdy!

 

Looks great . Lake headers would look real nice.

 

Looks great! Henry would be proud of your color choice. By the way, what size are your front and rear tires and wheels?

 

Very nice .

 

Thanks for all the comments, I still will have to sand and buff, its not perfect but I didnt expect it to be.

Tires are 145/15 front and 265/75/15 in the rear.

Ill post more as I progress.

Thanks RP

 

Looks great and I agree with the cream wheels. Keep the 5 spokes around for a little change of pace if the steelies get boring. Wheels and tires can change the whole look and for the time to spin 20 lug nuts off and on it's about as cheap as it gets.
BTW, what brand is the top? It's got a perfect profile.

Hell yeah, I love the shiny... the cream wheels sound like a good idea.

 

I agree with zman and the like.... do the wheels creamy.

 

I like the Thrusts....

Nothing you could have done would have made such a huge improvement. Well done!

 

Very nice

 

It was cool before, and even moreso now. It will remain cool with whatever wheel combination you decide on.

 

Fab, its a Sid Chavers, I chopped the glass another inch = a 3 inch chop and then we snugged it up to the body a little better and layed the glass back just a small amount.
I thought these tops were outrageous price wise but after I got it and installed the quality is excellent, probably money well spent.

Thanks Jerrod

 

There's no bad way on that roadster! Looks good in any stage of build!
You're a lucky guy!

 

Thanks for all the nice comments, made some progress today, painted the hood, lights and grille shell. Ill post pics as I progress.

 

Well Ive finally got the frontend back from powdercoating and repolished the perch bolts and shock mounts, Im makin progress but Im not in a hurry by no means.

Just thought I would post some progress pictures......Thanks RP

 

I think it looked better topless, and with the steelies.

but it's not my car and it looks good in black!!

 

Looks GREAT! I like the 5 spokes.

 

i like the shiney
