The Silva Speed Special (Part 2)

it is looking good,i like that color b;ue,alot beeter than the light blue
nice work!

 

That thing is very cool. I am considering a similar color for my '31 Chevy when if it actually gets to that point. It will be pretty close to the original color. But anyhow, that looks great. Nothing beats a simple, clean traditional car.......NOTHING!!

 

i love it , excellent choice on color and workmanship... need pics of the car finished......thanks ryan..

 

So by the looks of it I assume he is not going to the Roundup this year either?

that sedan is gonna be the most traditionaly built one I have ever seen.

What kind of paint did Kevin use on it?

I like this color better than the lighter blue also. It's going to be a nice mate to the Tardel-Cochran Coupe.

thatta boy Some sleepless nights ahead for yall too but it will be well worth it. Tell Mr Silva that is one fine looking Sedan

Lookin' great! The wheel 'n' tire size choice looks spot-on. Also, the red steering wheel compliments the blue and black really well. Good job, Kevin. Looking forward to the Roundup!

Malcolm

 

Looks good, Kevin! Now thrash-away, thrash-away, thrash-away all!

 

Neat !
Who said you couldn't have a HotRod and take the family.....
Great wheels too

 

Very nice and I dig the color as well. Good luck with the thrashing and making the Round Up

 

Looking forward to finaly seeing it. Looking good Kevin. Fine work indeed.

 

look`s like he cant get any sharp heads either
cars looking real nice kevin

 

Torturing us with only one pic? Can't wait to see some more of that thing... That is killer looking.

 

That is very similar to the color that I am looking to paint my sedan too. Excellent choice, and great looking car.

And I assume he's doing it in his own two car garage! Better crank-up some Jr. Brown and turn on the coffee pot, it's gonna take some do'in.

I also like the darker color. I'll be lookin' for it.

Thats a nice piece of work there, Kevin
Good post Ryan
Skot

 

That's simply bad ass!!!

 

That color reminds me of Corsair blue (Baa Baa Black Sheep), or the Hellcat and others 'fadeaway"(?) paint job.







Thanks,
Kurt

 

That looks great, looking forward to seeing it in person...

 

Its "Hot Rod Flatz" Midnight blue...and sorta in the range of Washington blue.

 

Great looking car! Good luck with the thrash fellas, I hope you have no/minimal problems.

 

Yes! Gotta love a good tudor.

 

Kevin,

Car looks great! I really enjoyed all of your attention to detail on the chassis. Looks great to see it mated with that super straight body!

So Kevin, what are your thoughts on the Hot Rod Flatz?

I've heard good & bad.

JH

 

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement fellas!

As you should know... its by no means a solo accomplishment.

I have had help from talented friends and a supportive wife.

I'll name names when its finished and we do a proper photo shoot.

Back to the shop.

 

I have no negative's at this time...it went on well.

Its fresh, so I dont know about longevity
color fastness or resilience to scratches.
