    I think the square format of Instagram photos doesn't work very well for posting pictures of cars.

    But I don't know what kind of feedback you want...about the photo? or about the car? The car is bitchin!

    Good.. bad? I’m assuming bad, not sure of your angle..

    The pipes remind me of Av8’s Bluey and it’s one of my favorite cars..

    I'm sure it's just me but I have always felt that the '28-'29 radiator shells looks better than the deuce grille shells on '28-'29 Model-A's...

    Are we to be complementing the blue one or talking about the barbeque grill pieces on the red speedster?

    Sure looks a lot like Vern Tardells Bluey...is it??
     
  13. Looks traditional to me, it also looks like it needs to be driven more, too much dust. HRP

    Depends on the ingredients

    Hamburger in a taco tastes better with hot sauce and in a bugger with ketchup..

    The A in question looks pretty good to me..

    LOVE the car, but to nit pick, I never liked a red interior with colors such as blue. IMHO, the car would look much better with a black interior. First glance at the car has your eyes going to the interior, as if the car is shouting "look, I have a red interior".
    "Billet" type firewall can looks out of place on period car.

    Would Tardel have sent the electrical harness over the radiator support rod and secured it with wire ties? o_O

    Maybe it's just the depth of the picture but the front pipe doesn't seem to be angled where it would connect to the block!!!! Ralphie

    Can't help but wonder if it predates the BTR, sparkplug boots look too modern. anybody identify the windshield stancheons? They look familiar but can't place them, like it was a sport coupe or something.

    Spark plug boots don't look like Tardel, but they could have been replaced.....as Bluey is over 20 years old!

    Pretty sure it's a Bluey clone that doesn't live up to the original?.. which is usually the case.. but that doesn't mean it's a bad car....
