Decided I would fix up the hot Rod a bit.....
 
Wanting to get ready for it's 100 yr birthday coming soon. Consentrated mainly on
front fenders and door bottoms. Had a body man do the serious work up to the primer and I did the painting. Looks a bit better I think, IMO
Before at the bodyshop

That is very cool. Will it still rust?

Nicely done.

It has no rust, the fenders were just "ruff" from old age. Steel aplenty. And BTW I used CAMO paint, green, light brown, and brown brown.
worked pretty good I think.

Very well done. Next time you take a picture of the whole car, post it up, if you happen to think about it!

GH85Carrera 05-09-2024 12:08 PM

Looking good.

bkreigsr 05-09-2024 12:16 PM

Aaaah-camo paint.

No wonder I couldn't see it.

masraum 05-09-2024 01:03 PM

I will for sure, soon as the rain stops and I can get the body shop dust cleaned up etc I'll get a pic or two on this post

Herr_oberst Thanks for asking ....Enjoy

Looks good.

I have the same wheels for my Mustang.

herr_oberst 05-10-2024 09:08 AM

That looks great. You pretty much nailed it.

(I forgot about the Warf Rat license plate. August West would be proud.)

That rod would be well in SoCal at any show.

Interesting. Was the original roof slats with a covering?
