Projects Unfinished finishes anyone?

My 38 Ford Pick Up Daily Driver.

 

I like where this thread went. People cleaning/keeping up they're pride and joy and polishing it's bits regardless if it's finish.
I expected a lot of cars deliberately made to look bad.

Keep 'em coming.

 

Gibbs Penetrating Oil.....

 

damn...way cool

 

Can I play? Original paint...

 

Sold these earlier this year

 

This is our '49 Ford. I'd like to leave it like this for a while. It's just fun to drive and not worry about it getting scratched or chipped up.

 

nice luv it

 

This weekend I took my unfinished 26 COOP to Jalopyrama Reunion in Westminster, Maryland:



On the trunk lid, I taped a write-up about the progress and asked spectators to help me with solving a dilemma I have: "to chop or not?"

Of the 60 replies, 36 were "don't chop" (including two HELL NO's).....The non-chop option is kinda' growing on me....."It takes a REAL MAN to NOT chop a T".

 

This was my great grandfathers. Original paint. Rebuilt the carb this weekend and it fired up. 1931 Fordor

 

Nice truck socal. Got more information on it?

 

A local car here in Ga

 

as found..well the cab anyway

 

Muttley...did you get that car from a kid up in squaw valley....I tried to wrestle one away a few years ago that looked pretty similar.

 

That's a turbocharged 8BA - Turbonetics setup from the early '70's. Diamond T COE in the background.

 

Was it listed on Craigslist? If it's the one I'm thinking of I also kicked the idea around of buying it to use as a parts car for mine. I bought this one from HAMB'er Porkshop in the Spring of 2008.

 

That would be Tim's 32 roadster from calhoun,ga. It's got quite a back ground.

 

Here is a better pic.....put me down for a hell no, don't chop! Love the Hemi.

 

yes it was maybe 2 years ago same color too

 

I got the grille shell and engine painted, the cowl section is next.

 

Has a 283 with 39 trans, 32 rear end. Body no pat ch panels or rot, was an orchard truck in Ventura Calif.

 

My fleat

 

Here is my Dad's 31 with 30 year old lacquer paint on the body, primered fenders and krylon on the wheels.



And my daily driver with a little paint left from a horrible restoration from the 70's.

 

Before I started refinishing it
5 different coats of paint haha.
Started off as white when new in 66, then painted gold by Disney Anaheim in 73 for a grounds truck, then slime green followed by the green you see here, primer between each coat of course.
It was not fun sanding it to metal

 

neat truck, neat liscense plate, neat valve covers, neat steering wheel........aw fuck it neat truck

 

That's the one. I saw it on Craigslist not long after I bought mine, probably sometime in '09.

 

here's a 36 Ford truck for sale in Dixon, Illinois with killer patina....make someone a good project,

 

`35 Master Deluxe body left alone and all modern drivetrain and suspension added.
