My car and that Victoria we found in the woods, are both "unrestored cars". It's worth the effort to keep it preserved as long as possible.Įach car is a individual. My car still has a lot of stuff worth preserving. This is what the stuff in a deluxe coupe really looked like. Some shades reproduced today look like a carnival barkers pants. The only stuff you can find for a Shoebox is pinstriped material. The stars, match the stars on the upholstery. To me it would be a crime to rip this out. I want to keep this together as long as possible.
#RED PATINA PAINT JOB PATCH#
The seat backs I'm going to leave as is and maybe patch if needed. Grey wool does, so I'm going to overlay wool broad cloth over the seat and leave the original stuff under it. Notice the stars in the seat upholstery That must be for the Custom Deluxe interior. All of the original headliner is there and in one piece. Notice all the service stickers starting at the door post. You have a good starting point and just needs some upgrades after you get it running right. The roadster you purchased does need a lot of work, but the rusty look needs some extra care. Nice look…Īny hot rod that is well taken care of in the build or afterwards has its rewards. roadster looks well prepared and care was taken to showcase its style. If they were built in the 50s-60s, the number was on the window and not the door. Plain is how most were built and raced back in those old days. Don’t get me wrong, I like flames, but for some hot rods, it is better left simple and clean. (Or, he cleaned it up for the photos posted.) Personally, the number and non original flames don’t do this style of roadster justice.

The paint looks great and the roadster looks to be a daily driver with lots of care taken in its upkeep. Here is an example of one that is similar in style and stance, including the wire wheels. View attachment 4772297 View attachment 4772298 This is what you are on record for saying about this car a while back: Certainly something that should make you walk around talking to yourself about. My thoughts are strong enough about this to say this: those who can't decide if they are traditionalists should think long and hard about where their loyalties lie, because you either understand what the 'gospel' is about, or you are no longer with those of who are. I have decided that the disease, of which I have already spoken, is influencing some of the posters who comment on this site. I ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONTRADICT MYSELF as things in my mind change. I can be like anyone else who sees matters on different levels. It had nothing to do with patina (barf), rust, or the necessity to paint it. The first comment was about the car pictured. View attachment 4772296 View attachment 4772295Īlright. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you.This is what you said about the OP’s car:
