    X2! This would be a big improvement, not just the trend-following fix you requested.

    My current black roadster has 5 pin natural finish knockoffs from So-Cal but when I built it I had 16X4 with 500/16s and 16X6 with 750/16s black steelies with hub caps only. I wanted something different because my 32 delivery and 32 3 window both have black steelies with caps. I'm putting the old black roadster wheels on my new project 32 PU. Love black steelies.

    You know that feeling when you walk into a bar and immediately notice you're in the wrong place - big time!

    Ha, someone finally said it!
     
  14. Darren your car just screams 70s Street Rod. First decide what theme you are going for and do that. You really need to take the silver off and put a full hood on it. Then a set of colorful wire wheels would probably do what you are looking for.

    By the way, are those tires radial, bias-ply, what ? They resemble Excelsiors. Please reply.

    Hey, Bud. these replies are truly from the heart, no matter. If you are intending to cruise long distanes in relative comfort, you will definitely land in the "traditionally 'styled' " category. The sharks will see to it. Prisoners are not taken, and style is much thicker than friendship. One can bleed to death here in just one or two "posts". Listen to what they say, because they are serious. Welcome to the inquisition.
     
  19. Put a hood on it.
    Paint the whole car black.
    Black or red 16" steel wheels with Firestone pie crust or Excelsior blackwall tires.
    Get rid of the bucket seats.
    Get rid of the steering wheel (and probably the column too.)
    Lean the windshield back a bit more.
    Re trim the interior ( can't see it, but can imagine.)
    Read the forum guidelines:


    The HAMB is dedicated to spreading the gospel of traditional hot rods and kustoms to hoodlums world wide. That's right; TRADITIONAL. If you've come here to discuss anything other than Hot Rods or Customs built in a style representative of 1965 or before, you've come to the wrong forum.

    Even if you have come here for all the right reasons, don't expect posting to be easy. We don't cater to new fellas unless they show a dedication to spreading this tradition of ours first. We welcome young, old, foreign, and all; but our original members and our staff expect a certain level of respect and an effort to keep things true and on topic.

    Maybe you are an old fart with a past. Maybe you are one of the guys that started this tradition we cherish. We built this place for you and your posts mean the world to us. Hop on and introduce yourself. This is your board.

    Still reading? Then you must be cut out for this, right? We recommend you read some more. Check out all the forums, develop an understanding for how things work around here, learn the "do's"; and "dont's"; The key to a happy HAMB newbie is to understand the joint BEFORE you begin posting.

    We have very few written rules here on the HAMB and that's the way we like it, but we won't hesitate to dump disruptive posters, ego freaks, or shit talkers. We are all here to learn and teach - please keep your other prerogatives on the sidelines.

    ................................

    Rules:
    1. No profanity in subject lines.

    2. No political/religious/racial posts at all. No exceptions.

    3. No Porn.

    4. We cover traditional '65 and older American cars only. All other threads will be deleted. We don't cover rat rods, muscle cars, mustangs, or VWs.

    5. No commercial posts.

    ................................

    Guidelines:
    1. If in doubt, don't post it.

    2. Stay on-topic and relevant with your posts; OT posts aren't generally appreciated by our membership.

    3. Gotta easy question? Try using the search function first.

    4. While we don't require "introductions," some members do appreciate them so it might be a good idea for you to do one here. Just introduce yourself and let folks know what you are all about.

    5. As mentioned throughout these guidelines, the H.A.M.B. focuses on TRADITIONAL hot rods and customs. Posts pertaining to traditionally inspired, but not quite period perfect belong on the main forum found here. Please note that we don't focus on things such as modern fuel injected motors, big-inch wheels, frame clips, after market independent suspensions, etc... at all on the H.A.M.B.. As such, posts that stray away from the "traditional inspired" will be deleted.

    6. Posts about period correct hot rods should go here.


    Now, if you asked the question 10 years ago...

    Well, I don't want to get sticky, but it would be PERFECT if it was red. Oh, shit. I just stepped in it.

    Single-tone paint is almost a religion. Two-tones just don't lend themselves to '32 roadsters.

    Even though my ride is not truly "traditional", I agree with Just Gary's and Dreddybear completely. They ARE truly traditionalists.

    I will have to change my address, then try to be incognito at the LSRU this April. I am really glad there at least 8 red Highboys that show up in Austin. WHEW !

    The tires are excelsior comp v bias ply's. They don't make them anymore. The excelsior stahl sport radial replaced it.
