Hot Rods My new ride -- paint it or not

46 ford. Channelled. 350/350. Camaro clip with narrowed fat man control arms. Should i paint it or not.

 

i would pull the motor first and put a ford in it first,then worry about painting it.

 

Actually this might not be a bad idea. With a Ford motor the car will be slow enough that people will have time to look it over as you drive by. At that point it would be better to have it looking good with a super paint job. With the Chevy it will be just blur going past so why bother with shiney paint.

Now that comment is a good way start a friday morning. I hope the rest of my day has a few laughs along the way to the weekend.

 

I wouldnt it looks pretty Kool the way it is. But if you do I would go black with some simple old skool flames.

 

what level of a paint job are you considering? flat black or something that yo can see yourself in? need more info to "vote" on it

 

That thing has BOMB written all over it. Find a visor and put it in the weeds.

 

looks cool as it sits, enjoy it!

 

Badass The Way It Is!

 

pagan gold shiny, white wheels or chrome reverse and white walls. leave the motor, its a custom not a stock car. slam it, chrome some pieces drive the shit out of it... DONE. next project.

 

Step 1: chop.
Step 2: drop in Hemi
Step 3: paint

Didn't they teach you anything in school? LOL

 

Please dont paint it!

 

if ya got the time and money, why not.

 

Looks good the way it is.

 

of coarse paint it! (with real paint... gloss)

Then add some custom hubcaps/wider white wall tires and perhaps find some better plated bumpers or have these plated.

 

step:1 chop
step:2 with drawl 401k to pay for Hemi
step:3 drop in Hemi
step:4 paint

hahaha sorry farmer those would be my personal steps if i had to do it hahahaha.

 

I love these cars in gloss black if not leave it alone and drive it... Please dont flat black!!!

 

yes, paint the rims something other than red

 

I don't recall paying more than 350k for mine. Man, you got screwed big time!

 

hahaha awesome!

 

If it was mine, I'd drive the hell out of it until it snows, and think about it in the spring

 

Leave it alone!

 

Yes. Half finished is all wrong.

 

paint ! Wtf is paint. Hell , you'll be getting into your beer money .
wallpaper looks good & you can get the ole lady to help.

 

Naw just drive it all clapped out. maybe if you own it long enough it'll get enough moisture to start rusting away.

I think I migh be inclined to drive it awhile and then decide what I wanted to do different with it before I painted it. But if I have a runer its always hard for me to pull it apart and make major changes.

 

thank you.... yes SHINEY

 

I like it the way it is. ~ some pinstriping would be cool tho...

 

paint it! Gloss paint of course. Please not flat black.

 

Paint the wheels. Black.

 

If you do paint it,please no flat black,that shit has turned into a cancer.
