    So, I am neck deep into this 32 roadster that I my friend built, and I wound up with. It is a very traditional build and he and I both wanted it to stand out in a crowd. We decided to do a two tone paint job with scallopes to set it apart from the sea of 32s. It also has a chopped top and a big lincoln flatty to keep it unique. Anyway, I painted it this weekend, and I really like it. I hope you all do too. IMG_2299.jpeg IMG_2301.jpeg IMG_2311.jpeg IMG_2312.jpeg

    Thanks. I got it home and took a few better pics. I am anxious to get a window in it and drive it to work. IMG_2314.jpeg IMG_2313.jpeg
     
  4. I would call that dramatic. It will definitely set you apart.

    I like it. Wonder what it'd look like with a number on the door?

    Chicken, I was thinking the same thing. My 27 has a number, and I like it. I will put the entire car together and then make that decision.

  14. Roadster turned out great! Good choice with the paint scheme. Would not look out of place on the lakes or at an early to mid 50s drag meet.

    BTW awesome to see the Sibs Hot Rods sign on the wall, can't believe I did the artwork 18 years ago.
     
  15. The more I look at this car, the more I like it. You absolutely nailed the overall look that makes it not just another 32 roadster. :cool:
