Hot Rods Later 1960s Style Model A (Advice wanted)

You sure didn’t waste any time getting those updates done!!!!

The little changes really look good and took the car up to the next level!!!! I like it a lot.

I like the maroon on the car now. Black would look good too. I’m not crazy about the gold metal flake in the black.

If it was mine I’d keep the maroon. If I rebuilt the whole car, full restoration, that’s when I’d do a color change. However I’d probably stay with the maroon.

Reinstalled the top and added new taillights. Wife says the old ones were too dark.

Sorry, but at this point,. if you still smell it... change your shorts

 

Please forgive me- on my 16th hour of an all state band festival, and I'm a bit punchy

 

Advice from an old fart, Don't get old!

Tell me more about the taillights.
Mine are original and I painted the inside bright silver.

 

I like those tail lights.

 

Original '41 Chevy.

 

I didn't believe it at first, but painting inside of lights white is better than silver

 

Hi. Those are Brookville LED replacement taillights. I tried new housing, lens, and different designs/bulbs. Wife just wasn't happy with the brake light brightness. These look pretty original and are very bright. Nick

Much nicer look.

 

I just see a big mix of periods, simplify, keep it simple and clean, in my opinion (And yes I said it) change the wheel , lose the side pipes and change the air cleaners and that car could look HOT. Just and "Old Farts" thoughts. BigO

 

Those look nice too! I have a nice pair of Corvette cleaners to add if I want to change the look.

I really appreciate your comments! Please keep following this thread.... I've got different wheels, I'm sanding the lettering on the tires, a new interior to install, chrome headers with exhaust under the car, and many other changes to make! This is an outstandingly well built car. I'm so very excited to change it a bit to suit my style. Here's a few inspiration pics!

Soo Happy to see the new headlights and stands. Really is a Boss looking set up. I couldn't be happier!

I just changed the title of the thread. The old fart title was getting old! More car updates soon! Final front end assembly, new wheels, chrome headers, and even upholstery!

I like everything you've done so far. Cool that your changing things and making it your own, that's what Hot Rodding is all about. I agree with some of the previous posts, 5 spokes would look bitchin. Here's mine.

 

Thank you! Your wheels and tires look awesome! Here's my choice for now. Loaned to me by the son of a local legend.
