    My newly acquired 29. Aprons are staying. The headlights will come down and change brands. 85AC4037-7C3F-4AAA-B99F-CFF148CFA3D7.jpeg DC0EC062-187B-4078-A5B0-E247C3FF461A.jpeg 40E97AE0-3A3E-41D1-8D62-FE60D218EF66.jpeg

    It was bone stock last month.

    Maybe it's not on an A frame, but it sure is a hot rod! Thanks, I saved the pic for future reference.

    haha I was thinking the same thing
     
  12. I'm really liking the splash aprons. Usually pared with wire wheels it seams but I think they look great with the 40 style wheels too.
    This is one of my favorite threads to flip through. There's some really great cars here.

    Ok but why in the heck doesnt anybody narrow them down a bit so they mimic a '32 rail?

    maybe those of us who appreciate A roadsters on A frames think 32s/chassis are ugly belly buttons.;)

    Thinking more about it , fat overweight 32 frames have that swage to disguise the fact that they are too cheap to have splash aprons....:D
