Not bad STEVE NORCAL

 

Me too thankS for hoppin on board

 

what period??

 

it dont matter to me just say this is my 60s period 50s period and so on its not that hard just post them

 

Beautiful.

 

Well I like to think mine is, its all pre 1946. so late 40's period.

 

i like it

 

who wouldn't?

btw ZGEARS is that a gas ration sticker on the windshield?

 

No kidding. That car is "spot on" as our friends over the pond would say.

I really like seeing those flattys painted in industrial/Ford gray. For whatever reason that gray just really looks right and highlights the engine compartment nicely.

Definitely a great example.

 

i feel that building a car in 2010 period perfect is virtually impossible. We will all be 99% ers. here is my 2009 period perfect. this is just an opinion.

 

Agreed. I am in love!!

 

like your opinion and i like your car

 

thank you much...

 

j ripper Don't you have a sweet coupe too?

edit: searched but didn't see anything. I was sure I saw a picture of your roadster and a black coupe in one post.

 

I did. i sold it some time back.

 

period perfect means doing it the way it was done back then. not just the correct parts used.

 

I think it's funny. Say I could build the perfect 40's hot rod, the only post 1950 part I use is a t-5 trans behind the flattie. everyone loves it. But some guy with a sweet roadster gets bashed for some headlight stands.....


Makes me think I could get away with a modern power plant and some hood sides. maybe LS1? since you can't see it, it must be period perfect, right?

 

Not bad STEVE NORCAL
