Hot Rods 28/29 or 30/31 FORD ~ WHICH BODY STYLE DOES IT FOR YOU?

'28-'29 with the stock radiator shell. The larger '30-'31 shell stands out as compared to the earlier model.

 

I am partial to the '30/'31's with '28/'29 fenders!

 

I could never quite put my finger on why I don't like '28-29 coupes, but this pretty much nails it. Also, the beltline ribbing is a lot less refined looking to my eye. The '28-9 roadsters are cool, but I'd still rather have a '30-31.

 

I have grown to love Model A's I'm not a fan of the big stainless 30/31 grill shells. I used a steel truck grill shell and painted it body color. Has anyone ever used a 28/29 grill and radiator on a later 30/31 body? Gary

 

I opened my naugahyde for this 31A BOMB!

the boys like this one !

 

It’s 29 for me.

 

Always liked this one toooo

 

28 / 29 for me, my new one, and my old one

 

Hard not to like the picture of the four guys next to the A-Bone Coupe just loafering!

 

28/29 sedans, roadsters and pickups. 30/31 coupes.

 

I prefer the contour of the 30-31 cowl

 

The 30 tudor was my first hot rod , loved it but now i love my sportcoupe turned roadster.
I would love a coupe ( both 28/29 and 30/31 ) especialy on 32 rail , man i can't decide !

 

I like 28/29 pickups

 

cbopped/channeled 30-31 Coupe is good

 

28/29 does it for me. Love the cowl lines.

But... @nutrocker 31 sport coupe is outstanding !

'28/'29 roadsters on deuce rails and '30/'31 roadsters, tudors and pick up's do it for me...

 

In total agreement with ya, Danny. If I dredged up a '30-'31 closed car, I would buy one of those filler panels made by FLOP to make the front of the top more like a Deuce. I really like the looks of that panel.

 

Im a 30-31 guy... Body lines are better, cowl is very finished looking, tall radiator shell just looks real nice.. But thats me... The proportions of a 30-31 are better I think, sedans for sure, coupes are ok in 28-29 just not my favorite... Here is the 29 coupe I had for a bit, unrestored survivor...

My current build...
31 tudor





I love em all, but 30-31 holds my heart I guess....

 

'28/'29 are my favorite...

 

28-29. Graceful lines and that forward sweeping curve at the bottom of the cowl post makes my heart beat faster.

I always liked the square cab on the 28-29 trucks .it just a cool shape.

 

I’m more partially to the earlier ones but I’ve seen very cool 30/31s like the one below

28/29 Roadster with a banger of course
30/31 Coupe and Sedan

 

28-29 for me. I prefer the carriage line on the cowl

 

I like both. but I do prefer the 28-29 grill on the early ones and I like 32 grills on the 30- 31

 

Don't have a picture but Danny Brent's chopped Red 28/29 sedan does it for me. But I've also built a lot of 32 highboy chassis for 30/31 Fords.
