    Damn that's fine. So glad to see it sittin' up rather than layin' on the ground. Those cars are cool too, but traditional is where it's at in my book. Nice job!!;)
     
  2. a great 'verbal portrait' of the car, and its 'soul', top stuff.

    Similarly, the sweet photo's, only minor/personal prefference, would be that next time you do some shots like that, you turn the lights on for all, as whilst the setting sun offers a fresh perspective of lighting, with both cars being relatively dark, the headlights really add to the flavour. Again, only my opinion, but dig the shots none the less.

    Cheers,

    The only thing I'd change about that car is it's location.

    Those pictures are "priceless" . I would like to frame them all. I would also like both cars in my garage.

    In my opinion sedans don't get the respect that coupes or roadsters garnish. They're kind of a third option hot rod. That's why I chose one for my first attempt. If I screwed it up too badly, no big deal its just a tudor. That being said its really refreshing to see someone aproach a tudor just like they would a five window or a nice roadster. Lots of detail and exceptional work. Extremely nice car.

    I liked the car from the start but the changes have improved every time. The finish is perfect. Stands out from the skateboards. Great photo shoot.

    Hey Ryan I bet you just sold a ton of the Bishop/Tardel books! I picked up a copy a few years ago and it is an awesome source of info no matter what type of hot rod you are building.

    Very nice ride!

    Hope you don't mind me asking but how exactly did you get that color for it? I noticed in the journal blog it said "almost" washington blue. I love the way that looks and would love to use it on a different kind of project.

    Thanks, and once again looks amazing!
     
  15. Don't know how I missed this before. A bump so all can see.
