'32 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster

[mrmike]

I originally built this '32 Ford 12 years ago and I decided this morning to update it.  I partially disassembled the '32, cleaned it and reassembled it with new wheels and tires that I bought at NNL East last month.  The paint was polished and the chrome was touched up with my Molotow Liquid Chrome pens.  The first picture is how the model looked when I finished it 12 years ago.

Beautiful restoration.  I like the new shoes!

The new wheels and polished paint make a big difference , it looks great !   Maybe a little more black wash on the grille ?

Thanks guys!  TooOld, I added another coat of black wash to the grille and it looks a little bit better.  I don't want to add too much or I'll black out the grille altogether.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you Carl, Patrick, and David!  Sometimes I can crank out a couple or three almost simultaneously and then I don't feel the need or have the desire to work on any at all for a week.  I got a few more going on the bench and I have to be outside working around the house instead.  What's a guy to do?
