I like yours better, but that's just me...

[Kustom55]

I would keep yours. In my opinion, there are a few things to change on the trade. Your rod is pretty cool....

[Jeff Norwell]

Oh Gawd....KEEP yours!!!! Painted bumpers and Coop doo-dads!!!! ...............yer iron is way cooler.

[Baumi]

Now I see your problem. I´m no big help, I like both of them.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fifty5C-Gas]

painted bumpers dont bother me, i'll chrome them, along with the upper grille shell, the chevy grille ends, and the trunk latches....and prolly 55 chevy side trim.

[MBL]

Do not trade that Model A. My opinion.

[Fraz]

No deal. Yers is better.

[Slick mo fo]

That is tuff..... I'd love to have either.
Did you build/design yours?
How do you feel about driving someone elses build? Some guys don't.

HR29, I've been down your road. It's not which is the better car, it's which car is better for you.
I had a '29 tub on '32 rails that I sold last winter and everyone (including my wife, but she's speaking to me again now) thought I was crazy. It was a cool traditional hot rod that turned a lot of heads but I was looking for something different. I bought a '48 Ford coupe. Nice driver, V8, auto but still not really what I wanted. Then one day recently, someone smiled down on me and I was offered a '49 Chevy Fleetline. I've always loved the looks of these cars and it was a nice, done, mild custom, driver. Just what the doctor ordered.
There's things that I want to change to suit my own taste but I can do that as I drive it....and I do drive it.
I really like THIS car!
Do what you think will make YOU happy.

[Joe T Creep]

Hmmm..I have a hot rod and a cruiser so I have the best of both worlds. Just keep yours and get the other one too....
hehe...

[Radman]

Go with your gut.

[PAPASMURF]

Um let me think, keep yours man...your car is sick and you will regret selling your car. especially if you have to see it ever again

[marq]

That hotrod is sooooooooooooooo fuckin cool ,i love it but would prefer it 50's style..........Marq

[SwitchBlade327]

as much as i like your car, I too would be tempted to get the shoebox and make it my own....

[Muttley]

NOOOOOO!!!! Dont do it!

[Tudor]

your car is way more bad ass than the fat one - you'll miss haulin ass

[burger]

If you have to ask, you probably already know the answer.

[BLAKE]

I think the fact that you're asking for input from this group indicates you're not 100% sure about making the trade.

Unless/until you're 100% that it's what you want to do, don't do it.

[Kustom??]

Ahhhhhhh Do it come on i need a long ride again gives us something to do......Plus i love your car you know that but i Love that shoeboX TOO.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Slag Kustom]

[Church]

I'm a custom guy myself...and watched that ford sled on ebay. It's also on racingjunk.com. Anyway, I'd still keep yours. Sweet ride!!!

[DrJ]

[Harrison]

Good man.
So what ya gunna do to the 56?
I'm in the process of doing the same.

[4t64rd]

Why would somebody finish paint a car with that big gap above the grill? One more day of work and that would have been SO much better looking.

Keep your A, how many other things on the pink car were done halfway?

[Fifty5C-Gas]

Slick, im not sure yet...gotta really look at it, right now it has a flip nose, smooth tailgate, rear roll pan with 58 chevy tail lights.

[Slag Kustom]

mike you could trade me the car and watch me do donuts and smokey burn outs http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gifDON'T TRADE YOUR 32 FOR THAT 50! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif The minute you do, you will regret it. 32 Fords like yours are something very special and you could not replace it for $19K. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif That 50 is nothing special. You can find them all day long. And, who the heck wants a 50 Ford with a 318 in it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif You will own it for a long time if you trade. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Don't trade.

[Slick mo fo]

Some one was telling me about 50' merc tail light bolting right up to the fenders. I was hoping that pink 50 Ford had them so I could get a look.
The flip front would be nice, as often as I'm under the hood. I usually just unbolt the whole front clip and drag it off. I've done it so often, I can do it by myself. On and off. With hood still on.

Any questions, give me a shout. Might be able to add 2 cents, for what ever that's worth.
