Deuce 5-Window - Retro-Mod[ern]

[Phildaupho]

 

I am not really sure what to call this emerging style of hot rod but I am calling it Retro-Mod[ern]. I have been seeing more and more modern contemporary styled hot rods that are severely lowered with big diameter wheels, low profile tires, a lack of chrome, unusual engines and subdued paint jobs

ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS

Smoothed roof top

Filled cowl vent

Removed edge trim on cowl and grill shell

Totally de-chromed

Tubbed rear wheel wells

Lowered suspension

Wheels, tires and seat from AMT Phantom Vickie

Replicas & Miniatures Weber Carbs with air cleaners from AMT 53 Ford PU

Louvered hood from Jason Lookabill

Paint – Tamiya TS-68 Wooden Deck Tan. The outer body was clear coated

Like the style of your build. Amazing how tall the stock roof looks. The smoothed body and extra louvers along with the blacked out trim really change the appearance. Like the stance along with the wheels & tires.

I'm really liking this build Phil.  Kinda the style I've been doing for a while.  Really nice looking Deuce.  

[Steve H]

Really cool Duece Phil. This is a cool trend indeed. Great stance and very clean build as always. What black did you use? Looks like it has a blueish pearl look to it, very cool. 
Cheers, Steve

Thanks Steve - The trend is sort of pro-touring hot rod !! the blacks are Tamiya - Gloss, Semi-Gloss and Matt. The blueishness most just be how the light hits it.

Excellent looking '32!

Very cool style of hotrod there Phil, and imho the 32 5window full fendered coupe looks better with the stock roof height. Very clean build and thanks for sharing. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

[ewetwo]

Looks great. I'd name it "the ghost". LOL

Thats a good looking hot rod! Nice work!

[Dennis Lacy]

Very nice, Phil. Excellent take on the modern style you mention. Not sure what to call it exactly. Kind of a “retro-understated”. I especially like the slammed stance and 5 liter engine with the Webers and use of those air filters that tie in with the valve covers. 

Not sure if you’ve seen it but a great example of this style is Kugels roadster “32 My Way”
