I think they're all ugly as sin

Imo

Some will do nasty things to this upcoming release...guaranteed! But I know to keep my mouth shut if I see something that I don't like.

[slusher]

Not real attractive cars

[Sixties Sam]

I've seen worse!

[RAT-T]

I LIKE THE FIRST TWO

[chunkypeanutbutter]

That last one is great!

[DumpyDan]

To each his own

[Matt T.]

Or do whatever you want. It's your model (car).

[Pim]

these are awesome way more personality than a shiny rod

[Jantrix]

Man, I love this one. I wouldn't change a thing.

[John Goschke]

This one is well-conceived and well-executed. Also quite authentic to the late '40s, early '50s period. Doesn't deserve to be tarred with the same brush as those cartoon cars.

At one time they had a huge venue called 'The Hunnert Car Pile Up' They have a huge following for the bulider with low budgets.Now I hear the 'Hunnert Car Heads Up Drags' at Byron Dragstrip in September 2015 racing all old skool cars. I like them all. http://public.fotki.com/bigtruck199/car_shows_11/hunnert-car-pile-up/

True

Not my idea of traditional but what ever floats your boat. Even an ugly kids is loved by someone.

[Longbox55]

That's the only one on this page worth looking at. What engine is that?

It's a '55-'62 Chevrolet 235. It could also possibly be a '55-'58 261, would have to see the block a little better to tell for sure.

[chunkypeanutbutter]

Oh, cool! Another '32 with an SBC engine! Wow!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Well, you can build maggot-gagging puke, or you can build beautiful. It's all up to the builder, right?

I prefer beautiful.

[Deathgoblin]

My question is: is there something wrong with the Model A grille/radiator? I notice almost every custom sticks the 32 grill on there, and I was always fond of the original.

[chunkypeanutbutter]

Here's another picture of that zippo-grille car.

I kinda like more.. dare-I-say "traditional" hot rods with same-size front and rears usually, and this could be helped with some.

It's just that they can tend to look a little too old-timey if not done right, especially on a non-fendered car. It IS an attractive grille shell, but it takes more effort to get one to look good on a rod...IMHO.

[Longbox55]

"Traditional" rods almost never had the same size tires front and rear. Rear tires were pretty much always larger, ambulance tires were very popular. The car that Ace posted is an excellent example of the common tire combo from the early days of rodding.

What ? You don't like what they did to the AG Coupe ?
