Art & Inspiration Friday Art Show

Just received our Hot Rod Hundred t-shirt artwork this week from B-Scott Studios featuring a couple HAMB-friendly cars. 38 Chevy belongs to HAMBer @Dan Hay

 

Hello,

I got on a custom car mode and could not stop. It started with some mild custom changes, but then, I did a 39-40 Mercury Coupe to a station wagon. Now, I was looking at some 40 Ford coupes and sedans. They normally do not need any customizing as the design is pretty well cool in itself. Smooth flowing fenders, nice streamlining hood and grille combo and the long rear rounded fenders of the coupe. So, I started there and did some changes for the custom crowd.

The first thing was a mild chop as the cab roofline is tall and could use a little less, at least for a custom. The mild chop is so it does not look like the Jolly Green Giant stepped on it while hauling some Green Peas. Ha!

Then, the modified front fenders with frenched headlights and of all things, a suicide door set up. Inside, of course would be custom swiveling bucket seats with plenty of side bolster and adjustable back support. The whole interior would be white tuck and roll including the roof and panel. You can’t see it, but, no custom car is without a matching full trunk upholstery.
The stance...
In our early days in hot rodding, we saw plenty of lowered cars that were CHP favorites to pull over and give tickets for unsafe builds. But this one would have the drag race history in the motor and therefore, a slight rake for some attitude, without going too low. The full custom suspension would give it the ride as well as a cool stance.

One last body modification would be a full rear fender skirt with a custom inserted taillight setup. And finally, smooth curved nerf bars in the front and rear. To highlight a set of full chromed Buick Skylark Wire Wheels in front and peeking out from the rear skirts. YRMV

 

Good Friday to all !

What's not to love about this start to Friday?
Thanks,

yawn, good morning it's Friday already? WOW what a great start! Thanks

 

Lookin' great folks! No old car show logos this week. Instead I whipped up a semi custom 61 Ford Uni. I've always liked the Unibodys and the Chevy Cameos.

 

Squeak Bell's cool 40 Ford, with padded running boards.

 

Well those certainly have some appealing aspects. I really like these art threads.

 

Here is a piece from a 1937 Fortune magazine article about the White Log coffee shops- 62 fake steel and concrete diners started in California in 1930. Caught my eye.

 

Awesome FAS today! Thanks all!
