Painted Black Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 After finishing my 32 roadster I decided to start another, got a good bit done already so its mock up time..Enjoy Questions, comments encouraged..... 2
NOBLNG Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 Very realistic looking. Looks like someone sanded her down for a new paint job and never got around to it.?
Zippi Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 Looking pretty good. Love those old 32's. I see a spare in the trunk so it's ready to get down the road.

Painted Black Posted December 7, 2021 Author Posted December 7, 2021 Update: finally decided on an engine, will be a souped up Studebaker... have my final decision on wheels and tires, plain 40 Ford steel wheels, chromed. skinny pie crust slicks for the rear and some small generic fronts. So with wheels/tires picked out I can get started on mounting the rear axle, just a plain ole Banjo.. Oh yeah, will not be running the hood sides!! 1
mustang1989 Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Looking forward to seeing that motor dropped in there.
espo Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 I like your "dare to be different" engine choice.

Not much to report since I'm having trouble finding some key parts for the Stude engine, I may have to "Frankstein" it with some parts that are close enough. Couple more boxes to go thru, in the mean time, enjoy a couple I did awhile back.
Dennis Lacy Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) The weathered bare metal appearance looks absolutely fantastic! You nailed it. Stance and wheel/tire choice look great, too! Edited December 10, 2021 by Dennis Lacy

alan barton Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Add me to the list regarding the bare metal paint finish. I have some doors in my garage that look EXACTLY like that! This would look amazing in a body shop diorama. Cheers Alan
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Nice hot rods!! Looking forward to seeing more. Perfect patina.... -RRR

Looking forward to seeing more. Perfect patina.... -RRR Thanks Alan, RRR. I have not found any of the Stude parts, so I went with what I could find, looks uh OK? Need to build some headers, and some engine mount to get it to sitting right, also need some ideas on air cleaner, I could just go with stacks, but I want something different, if you know what I mean.. On all four,, One for the road. See ya'll next time.
Bullybeef Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Ok you have sold me on the look! I really need to do some research on the process for a patina paint job. I think the cad engine looks like a good fit, I think the traditional fish mouth scoops would be an ok look but I get what you mean about something less ordinary. Something like this would look “right”
espo Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Some Copper or Aluminum tubing cut at an angle for carb stacks. Paint them a light yellow to represent "Rock Mountain Kool-Aid", Coors, or a local brew of choice. 1
Painted Black Posted January 9, 2022 Author Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) My lil' coupe has wood Couldn't resist............. Thanks for lookin,, got to get them stacks finished. Just noticed that one rail looks wonkie, guess I'll pop it out and fix, sorry about that. Edited January 9, 2022 by Painted Black
Painted Black Posted January 9, 2022 Author Posted January 9, 2022 Not a bad day at the bench, got a good bit done today. That is all, for today.
Zippi Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 That's looking pretty sharp RRP. Love these old fat fender cars.
