    The FIRST thing that ever nudged me in the traditional direction was a phot in a Classic Truck mag tech article for brakes, featuring a 52 Ford F1 with scallops and moon discs....seared into my memory.

    In the early 90s, this was outrageously unfashionable....yet I just couldn't stop going back to that picture.

    Anybody have a copy????

    Ive been running this paint job for 11 years. I did a reboot of scallops due to everyone flaming everything at the time. Was nice to be different, here we are, paint job is a bit screwed up, battle marks in many places but looks more fitting than anything I've come up with for this truck. This was a cheap garage paint job in 2 days by myself and a few buddies.

    Not as cool as the guys who did it before me but a nod to all those who did it before me. Love some scallops. Now I am at a point where I could do a better and nicer paint job on her, but for some reason the simplicity of things on this one make it hard to change.

    Here is a photo chop to get me some ideas, ignore the bright color it made it easy for my eyes to follow.

    What a great job you did on this 40 model. I like the scallops but the whole assembly is terrific. All three you showed are great. Good work man.

    Always liked the simple , understated look of the scallops on this ‘40 sedan. Last seen at New England Dragway a few years ago

    Hello,

    Scallops go back well beyond our own lives and played a big part of doing the time-consuming thing of filling up our notebooks, and Pee Chee folders. The early designs were pretty simple and made it fun for pre-teens to try our best at being famous artists and pinstriper guys/girls.

    There have been plenty of hot rods and racing vehicles that had scallops on them. Some looked fast just sitting there and some looked like show cars in competition. One such race car was introduced to my brother and I via the weekly Drag News papers. We actually were totally impressed when the actual Art Chrisman Hustler 2 FED came rolling into the pits area of the 1959 Riverside Raceway.

    The event, as explained in other posts, was an EAST VS. WEST meet. It brought all of the big names from the East and Midwest to race against the top Westcoast racers, led by none other than Art Chrisman. Fresh off a late evening win at the first Bakersfield Smokers March Meet in early in the year, Art Chrisman’s white FED race car was the favorite.

    My brother and I were so happy to have seen AND heard the Hustler 2 race against plenty of race cars leading to the final race of the day. This race car was all silver in March of 1959, but it became a transformed finished show car shining brightly in the pits. The bronze, scallop paint job and all stood out quite well. It was a show car racing for all of the marbles. It was not the epitome of “if it does not go, chrome it…” mantra. Paint and chrome aside, it was loud and fast.

  17. I can't take credit for the scallops, I bought the truck as you see it.
    I do agree though, it had a nice "look" to it.

    :rolleyes:...pretty Aerodynamic Gas cap eh!...a trendsetter of a mod at that...and skirts off...

    :rolleyes:...skirted...note these are not flush inside mount...they overlap the fender

    https://kustomrama.com/wiki/Doug_Rice's_1939_Ford

    :rolleyes:...While snooping around the other day I was looking at images of Doug Rice's Coupe and I'm thinking what Doug did May have inspired the fella that owned that scalloped and I think Sectioned Coupe.

    It was said he added the straight section to the fender to anchor the Skirts which happened to be rounded up top...

    He sure like taking those skirts off too...

    Now this hasn't got anything to do with the scallops but certainly may have with his gas axeing...
