Technical The same but different

I picked up the latest issue of Rodder's Journal today and was checking out Jon Wright's black coupe which is an awesome ride. This got me to thinking about how you can have two cars using the same basic components yet be completely different. Specifically 3WLarry's equally awesome 3w 32 coupe. Both are black chopped 3w 32s on 32 rails with black steel rims. Yet one looks like it is going 200 mph standing still and the other looks like it will kick your ass for looking at it the wrong way. Just an observation.

Nice observation. Both bad ass

 

Blew them up for better comparison. HRP

 

Glad I don't have to choose between the two. I'd love to have a coupe, next? Tim

 

Rake and stance makes a big difference

 

My eyes get turned onto the punched louvers. For whatever reason, they can change an attitude of a car just like that. But I do see what you are saying. The cars are so much alike, yet have two completely different demeanors.

Definitely proves that there is a ('32) hotrod for everyone, and they would all be different.

 

I'd take the black one!!!

 

That style will never get old.

 

The one without hubcaps sure does have its chin down lower. Tire size too, can make a huge differance. I like the rake of the righteous one.

 

I love them both. But I like Larry's a little better. What size tires Larry?

 

At the risk of pissing people off, in terms of stance/overall look, I'd take Larry's and by a wide margin. The 2nd car is trying too hard...

 

The Righteous ride has close to the "tone" I'm after with my PU. But I am "Patiently Waiting" for something like Larry's.

You can't have the black one, that's the one I want!

 

Patiently waiting....

According to the article in Hot Rod it is:

Early Ford rims and 'caps suit this coupe perfectly, with '40 Ford 16x4s wrapped in 4.50 rubber up front and 7.50-clad F-100 16x5s out back.

Not that I keep it bookmarked or anything.
