Hot Rods How many Hambers own Black hot rods?

Actually, you're both right!

F-ONE is correct if you are discussing PIGMENT. THEORETICALLY, if you mix the primary colors in equal parts, you get black. (Actually you get a dark muddy brown...try it sometime with oil or acrylic art paints!)

HRP is correct when speaking of LIGHT. Black is the absence of all light, or at least all "visible" light.

So, to put it all together...If F-ONE puts equal parts of each primary color on his hot rod, then the pigment "absorbs " all the light and no color is reflected for HRP to see.

Fine Art and Physics , all in one lesson!!!

 

This is my old bare bones Hot Rod. I've had her for over 40 years. No paint interior etc. But she's my favorite car that I've ever had. Ron....

Couple more......

 

I'm not sure about the wheels and tires, but for some reason this T-Bird really pushes my buttons...

I would love to see a picture of it with the hardtop on.

 

I have one.

 

My old beater was painted in 1963 also but I hasn't stood the test of time like your coupe,it spent 20 years sitting outside,it needs painting but I keep putting it off. HRP

 

<----- In process.

 

Here's mine, almost done with a 4.5 year rebuild.....

 

Guilty on two counts . . .

 

Don't know why the picture posted twice, sorry

 

Count me in. There is nothing more traditional than black.

I do believe that white is the culmination of all colors of the spectrum in fact....

Mix all the colors together and you get a ugly mauve,being in the paint business and then working on the manufacturing end I have screwed up my fair share of paint. HRP

 

I have one Black and one Tan Oh that's the beer I drink!

Here is the black one!

 

The black one is a favorite of mine....The car not the beer. HRP

 

egads,

^^^ That is one nice looking T-Bird ^^^

 

Thank you, It's a fun car,312, 2 holley two's ,t-5, 3.70 gear.

 

More a warm stick than a hot rod but it IS black

 

It was never meant to be black. Just ended up that way.

 

Quote from Henry Ford-“You can have any color as long as it’s black” I must be color blind.....As i see no other colors . Even the 34 roadsters color is designated “Black Rose Poly.”

 

Mine will be flatblack until I am done with the bodywork. I am going for Gold, Red, Black for paint one day. I hate people telling me they know I guy who into rat rods.

 

I have just been informed that America 5 spokes are off topic billet wheels......
