1928 tudor done kinda "salty" style

Well,
We were workin on this really cool roadster for a client, and thought it would look really cool as a tudor. The client loves his roadster, so we just put a roller together in the same flavor to see how it would look. What do you think?

 

Looks like its ready for the salt to bad we dont have any up here.

 

I love the look of the front, looks fast!

 

I like it Jim except i recommend the headers point downward.

 

I like it..........a lot! Very cool nose and hood.
How much chop did you do?

 

that channeled roadster is exactly the look my wife wants for her roadster (starting to collect parts nwo) but with a track nose...

 

Jim will you stop building all this cool stuff you're making the rest of us look lazy.

 

Or out. I think it looks cool though.

 

I have a diferent set of headers. i will try it with them.

 

Jim,I am humble in your excellence,but I don't want to blow it up your ass,I can,t help lovin' the massive chop version.Shoot me.

 

okay,
i changed it up a lil. Different headers, bias ply tires on the back, with or without the hood.
tell me what looks good.

Wow the top transforms it.Not a lot in it,but no hood.Gearshifter thru the roof,shweet.Now lets check the gasser Willys.Can,t keep up with ya?

 

I'm not a big fan of hoods, but that car looks SICK with one! I think its due to the length of the car. I don't know, but it needs that hood. Awesome job.

 

It looks "saltier" with the hood.

Did you shorten the body? It's hard to tell for sure.

Looks like we think alike...

 

yes,
i took 2.5 inches out of the body. it was hacked in half with an axe when I started. i wanted nice metal to work with so I cut it back until it was nice.

 

I like it with the hood and the second set of headers....

Yet again, way to go, lookin' great!

Malcolm

 

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Im not a big fan of hoods on an "A" either,but in this case I like it with a hood.Also like the second set of headers.JMO tho....Looks killer either way!

looks awesome. makes me wanna start over with my tudor.

 

Good job Jim. Ken and I need to roll up and see that thing.

 

Jim that looks so killer!!! I love the hood, and even kinda like the first set of headers, or maybe the second, all i know is that car has me rethinking my dream sedan. Thank you for the insparation.

i pulled it outside to take some pics.

 

Ok Jim i dig those headers with the hood on it! You need some old leather straps now to hold that hood on and you have a killer look.

 

What Malcolm said....

 

Killer idea - I love the hood. It looks better with the Tutor body than it does with the roadster!

- Joe

 

Yeah, the hood hasta stay. The 2.5 inches out of the body helps a chopped A sedan stay in proportion, IMHO..
Jim does wonderful work...check out the model A he turned into a 3 window!

 

Its not the same car, with 2 different bodies. I actually still have the roadster. I agree that the tudor is a little better lookin car, but in person the roadster loos like it goin 80 just standing still.

 

Ya know 3blap.. Those photos just don't do the tudor justice.

 

You got me thinking... what would this look like as a RPU?
