slammedi'am Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) been messing with this one off and on......Think I got the colors the way I want it...If I run this wheels,I will get smaller ones for the front..But this is where Im at so far with it Edited December 25, 2012 by slammedi'am
slammedi'am Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Yup...Omly ones I seem to like right now lol
Jantrix Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Just a thought, but the kit wheels/tires are really nice if a bit dated. Have you looked them? I'm building the same kit, but I've hacked it up a bit.
JasonFL Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 It's clean, real clean so far. I think with the smaller wheel in the front will make all the difference in the world. I like the color combo and the way you ran the line to seperated the two. Can't wait to see it come together, keep it up.
slammedi'am Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks everyone....Im still up in the air about wheels....Thought of the box wheels but like this look also
aksarben Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Nice paint! I think those wheels are perfect for this but agree they would be better if they were bigs "n" littles.. Steve
Del Austin Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Looks nice. I think if you raise up the rear a tad it will make the wheels look better (IMO). Love the paint on this.
slammedi'am Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 Got the smaller wheels for the front on their way....Gonna wait n see how they look on it..
Olskoolrodder Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 That thing's gunna be killer! LOVING the paint and wheels.
aksarben Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 The more I look at this paint job the more I love it, care to fill us in on the colors and how you achieved this great look? Streve
Skip Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Those wheels are perfect for it, will make a whole world of difference with the big-n-little stance. Not at all dated, some things are too classic to mess with. Those wheels are pretty much an updated polished Radir or American mag wheel. Which is what's on a whole lot of Hot Rods now days. I take it that you are (based on paint style and wheels) building current (billet) style versus period correct pre '64 style. If you'r e building current stick with those wheels. Some of the true billet wheels detract rather than enhance the lines of a whole lot of Hot Rods. A wheel should compliment the lines of the car not the car compliment the wheels.
slammedi'am Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks everyone...Paint is Duplicolor metal specks burnt copper and Duplicolor Alabaster silver metallic
rmvw guy Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Isn't this a '37 Ford even though your post says it's a '36? I'm just surprised no one has pointed that out. No big deal. I love the color combo. Edited July 27, 2012 by rmvw guy
slammedi'am Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 Isn't this a '37 Ford even though your post says it's a '36? I'm just surprised no one has pointed that out. No big deal. I love the color combo. Lol I didnt notice that and I dont know why I put 36 but its fixed now
rmvw guy Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Lol I didnt notice that and I dont know why I put 36 but its fixed now ..Yeah now I look stupid since you fixed it! I just couldn't let that go by having owned two 1:1 '37 Fords. I have seen the '37 fenders used on a '36 before but, something just didn't look right. It's going to make a great looking hot rod!
slammedi'am Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Got the smaller wheels for the front and been messing with a lil bit everyday. Gotta t/u somethings on the engine when it dries... Edited August 4, 2012 by slammedi'am
Captain Obvious Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Love the color combo! I wonder what it would look like if you painted the wheel spokes to match the silver, or even maybe even a darker shade, while leaving the chrome lip...
Marshy Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Sweet colour combo, and i love big's and little's also. Cheers Marshy
Dr. Cranky Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 What a gorgeous color. This one is already a great looking model.
