Ditto.

To each his own, and I appreciate the craftsmanship and all that, but dang if this style doesn't remind me of one of those dogs with a bad itch on its BEE-hind.

Janne!

Hats off to you

This is a great thread!!!! Taildraggers are at the top of my list as favorites!!!
I have 100's of pics of them, but most are from Before the digi . I did run across this one on my computer. I need to find out what the heck is wrong with my scanner, I'm pretty sure its just a hook up problem, worked great before we moved! I will have to see what I can do about that so I can share some shots!! Nice to see Cats 48 made it here!!! Great friend, beautiful ride.

Photos lifted from various places. As always, if they belong to you and you don't want them up here, I'll take them down.

 

more of the same

 

By any chance do you have a front shot of this 36 Conv. Thanks,WHEELS

 

bejesus. . . this one deserves another look . . . thanks slow64

full fadeaway fenders, filled quarter windows (i never really go for that but it looks right and super period correct on some cars), tailights in the bumper guards. . . this looks right out of the little pages

whoever built this has a good grasp on the aesthetic. . .

 

Here's another pic of the Ford.Recently restored by the Jim Bruns crew.Was also featured in Rod & Custom some time ago.Car has lots of history.



wheels1950,I don't have any front shot of El Jefe's Ford but why don't you PM him and ask for some or maybe anybody else can help ?

 

I'm loving this post-- Keep em' coming- Any more old pictures??? Westergard era love...

 

Here are a few more photo's of the 40 Ford





And one more of the car in the 50's



And here is the front of the '36 Ford.



And here is another '36 Ford I showed before in this thread, but this time the front with wonderful molded headlights and '40 LaSalle grille and Olds bumpers.

 

How about the period perfect back of this DuValle/Carson style topped '36 roadster. '37 DeSotto ribbed bumpers, set in licence plate and perfect stance.




Single bar flipper hubcaps and lowerd headlights all fit the 40's styled custom perfectly. I love the look of the DuValle style windshield on a '36 Ford.



'36 Ford phaeton

 

Sure here are a few

'36 Ford roadster chopped top. nice fender skirts on low stance. Oldsmobile bumpers.




Convertible with Dark colored Padded top.




'36 Ford 5-window with '37 Ford front fenders. Channeled body, with raised front fenders and custom hood and grille.






Chopped coupe with again ribbed DeSotto bumpers. Car was also raced hard at the lakes.

 

'40 Ford coupe lowered a bit! and a georgious Buick grille added. Running boards where removed and body channeled over the frame.




Another 40 Ford this time a convertible with Packard grille and blanked out side grilles.



'39 Convertible with running boards removed.




40 Coupe with rear windows closed and Lincoln bumper, again running boards removed.

 

I would know that car anywhere. It belongs to steve AKA. El Hefe.
That is my all time favorite car. Followed closely by his other car the Golden Rod.

I saw that thing with the chassis on the floor and the body up on stands at Easter,shit you work fast.

 

Lead Parkin' last weekend...

 

Perhaps a bit O our usual T, but I'd like to see more of the hilarious killer Edsel in the background. Not only is it really scary looking, but it appears to be claiming a dozen Japanese "kills".

 

Not taildragger but Edsel.

More pics PLEASE !!!

 

Seems like most of the pictures on the earlier posts have gone bye bye.

Here are a couple of my favorites.....



and

 

Janne......

Those drawings you posted are beautiful. Do you do this for a living or is it just a hobby?

Your post with the photo of the Edsel made me wonder if anyone has used an Edsel grille in a Westergard style custom. It does have that vertical look like the LaSalle and Packard grilles.

Here is a photoshoped 40 Sedan.

 

Check out these vintage photos of a taildragger being sold on eBay....

Whoops, a HAMBer is bidding on these photos so I have removed the link as he requested. Check Rikster's Web Site

please check your PM.

Thanks

 

Is that Chevy yours, Janne? Very nice. I'm a huge fan of your art work. I love the paintings of the Packards in the Primer Annual.

Chris

 

Thanks! This guy obviously doesn't take himself too seriously; good for him!

 

Bullet Nose : Thanks! I am not living doing this yet. I am studying industrial design at this moment.



loogy: Thanks! That '41 Chevy belongs to Teemu Tourunen of Pistons Kar Klub.

Taildraggers rule! I've posted this photo before, it was shooted by me in DoDads Weekend a few weeks ago. Those bagged bottoms of Pistons' cars look gorgeous!

Mika

 

AWESOME THREAD. Keep it going!

 

I bought my ´47 Ford project from this guy, he is in advertising business, TV commercials and so on.


Upcoming taildragger? Top needs to be rechopped it looks awful.
