slusher Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 D.None of the above I like this one. Built by the shop I work with. https://youtu.be/qSnPO1Q-MoM Now this one is more my taste Bill..
Belugawrx Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 30 31 32 who cares, it's the style of finish not the year exactly
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 30 31 32 who cares, it's the style of finish not the year exactly The '32 is an entirely...did I say ENTIRELY...different car from a '30-'31. Different cars...entirely.
Joe Handley Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Here's the gold car in progress. Guess we coulda left it that way and called it done. Nah. Honestly, it still looks better in that pic than the other three.
Toner283 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 30 31 32 who cares, it's the style of finish not the year exactly Old ford guys care. Model A guys care. Deuce guys care. Hot rod guys care. When it comes to model T's, model A's and Deuces, the exact year does matter a great deal to many people.
Greg Myers Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 "Same group" right Bruce ? Didn't think I'd catch it did you?
johnbuzzed Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 A. It looks like there was a plan to build a hot rod. The others look half-baked- either it's clean and shiny, or it's not. How much of that "patina" can one have, before the structural damage is too severe for actual use? And, all those "lightening holes"- really, for the street?
Jon Haigwood Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Since the OP poll did not state whether it was for a 28,29,30, 31 or 32 or even a being a Ford , only the style of build. At what point was it change to 30/31 only ? Did the 30/31 A lovers take over this thread ? I what would be the advantage of putting the frame upside down ?
Tom Geiger Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I dunno guys... when I see a row of shiny street rods (As or '32s) at a show, they seem just too cookie cutter to me. And shops are cranking out brand new ones one after another. At least the ratz have some character. I had built this in the image of what I'd actually like to own someday... maybe a little less ratty, but I'd like to have a roadster pickup. Maybe once I get past a few life things! Heck, I'm gonna be spending at least that on a wedding next year!
Fat Brian Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I don't care for A, B, or C completely. None of them stay consistent to their design theme, I don't like modern components on rat rods. I like the chop and drilled visor on B but the car is a bit too grungy for me but has chrome engine pieces. Give me C chopped like B with C's vintage engine and find some more period looking wheels and tires.
LaughingIndian Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 ... At least rat rods take the heat off modelers of my skill level
