    Found this article on a converted 1928 Ford Roadster in an October, 1937 AUTOBODY TRIMMER AND PAINTER magazine, and thought some of you would enjoy reading it.
    I do not know when true Hotroddin or Classic Conversions really started, but this must be one of the early ones.

    Pretty damn neat, I too wonder what ever happened to it. Very interesting to see a Model A roadster done full custom.

    Guess it has to grow on you, but it must have been earth shattering in it's day.

  7. Wow, Lots of work there. Looks like some Delahaye influence.
     
  8. Doing some research on this, I stumbled across this much later photo of Ran's Shop at it's later location. ( No luck yet on this specific vehicle)
