    Cover that LARS with a "TX Roadsters" Sticker, and viola', the car is dead nuts perfect! (besides you can save the (Carnuba) trees, Cali style, if you ain't waxing it!)

    I like finished cars too, but I'd have an awfully hard time improving on THAT!!!!
    Great job.

    Wow, just wow..

    I agree with all the other positive responses.
    This car also shows very well how nice an 18" wheel and tire fits against the quarter panel on a 32.

    Oh.. and i wouldn`t paint it either. :)

    ...My 2 cents?...Bruce's Rod Shop does some Awesome Work...but if it's painted,
    then she'll look like all the other '32's out there...as Sheldon's '32 is Right Now, it's
    instantly Recognizable...it Stands Out from all the other Roadsters, even in a Crowd !
    ...Maybe have Sheldon let you guys 'rough it up', like 320 grit or something, then clear
    coat it with a semi-gloss or a Flat to protect it, ...there's just something about that
    faded Mint Green, gives it a true '50's Look. ...and I've never been one to like Wires,
    but they just add to the appeal of the car, nice job you guys on thinning the fronts
    and widening the rears (think that's what you guys did, Sheldon sent me some under-
    construction pics a while back)...Great Work Y'all !
    (I know some guys at Ol'Skool and CKD, they need to post these pics in a Magazine
    ASAP!) Prior to the LA Show!...if anyone out there is interested, I'm building a faded
    patina '50 Panel this winter, hope to have it and several guys I've built Flatheads for
    attend, we'll have a big party near the entrance of the Show next June, show up and
    say Hi, Scott MacMaster's '29 Coupe (on my Flathead page, "Culver" Speed'n'Chrome
    on the door) will be there, Karl Underwood's Model A Coupe, Kevin's '51 Tudor, and
    hopefully others can make it out...so Stop By!, we'll also be at the So-Cal open house
    and Walden's Open House Show that Friday afternoon/evening.

    FANTASTIC Pictures!...Louisiana in the Fall ? ironically my sister and I were BORN
    in New Orleans!...go figure 'eh!? Denver and all of Colorado is quite beautiful in September and October (where I grew up since '77), but Wow, what Great Pics!

    ...(luv the Flathead shots too!)...
    Bonesy, do you know Joe Abbin? I dyno'd this '32's Flathead at Joe's Shop
    last year...great guy, can't wait to take another one down to him to dyno
    test. Building a Wicked 304 with 4-carbs next then another Blown Flathead
    with one of Joe's kits, looks like the buyer wants to dyno it.
    I just built a Bad Ass 4-71 Flathead, but didn't test it, per Ron Sangiovani,
    it's making an easy 325 to 350 horse!..clips of it running are on my homepage

    I was going to suggest a deep Blueish Red or Black, but with that Bright Red motor, I hope it's going Black. Whatever the final choice, it's going to be sweet!

    The car does have a mean look as it is ... But If I was gonna paint it I would have to go with slick black.... Diggin' the V8 headlight bar

    That thing is beautiful - subscribed to see the finished product!
     
  30. Damn Danny - I have yet to see a ride come out of your shop that did not blow me away. You have the eye and the Midas touch.

    Well done ....... AGAIN !!
