good outrageous, or bad outrageous?  I can't make up my mind.  Guess I'll photochop it when it comes time to paint.  Or,  I could always go flat black, with red steelies, or red oxide primer...haha jsut kidding

Outrageously great!  I almost painted mine orange.  Always wanted something that color.  I put flattener in the yellow to take away the shine.  Red oxide with a clear coat sounds good.  I like the photoshop idea.  Heck, I think it will look neat with about any color.

I've seen that before.  I would LOVE to have that setup!!!!!   But, that would change everything that I have done so far, AND I would have to source out another front plate & oil pan from a truck. Trying to keep things cheap.  At least till AFTER I start racing    My local nostalgic car builder is going to make me some, just like they did back in the day.

Just got this picture today from my father in law from the California for the Grand National Roadster Show.

BFOOTER03,

Sweeeet coupe!  I like the naked metal finish with clear coat, must be extremely difficult to finish, but well worth it in my book.

Hey JL, another color (no color) to consider.  If you use a fiberglass body it might be easier to get the look with paint. You see wood grain, chrome trim, etc. done with paint, I'm sure a good painter could make a bare metal finish.

The Grand National Roadster Show has moved to Pomona (LA) about five years ago.  It started in Oakland, CA in about 1949.  There were always Y-Block powered cars there (even mine), but I sure am enjoying the resurgence.

hey, built a 32 cpe. with a 292 040 312 pistons, ram horns, 6 carbs, 5 speed, split wishbones, steelies, 56 rear with 40 ford spring,done basically how i did one in 1960. be happy to share any photos of any part,or car with you if if would help. if you lived in va. be happy to have you come and look. dont know how to post pics, but have alot, or if you will send me a cheap kodak camera and instructions, will take what you want. had hope to go to maxon last year, but couldnt so maybe this year. do have some pics posted on the hamb under 6deuce32yblock in the personal section . go there if you like.

 

I like the look of raw steel.  Unfortunately, I am thinking about going a flat gray.  I dunno, I have a bout 5 years to go before I'm ready to paint, at this rate.  Oh, I'm going with what I have, the 32 ROADSTER, not the 3 window.  It's a time thing.  Either way, I'll love it.

 

Since I plan to run a 292, with a manual trans now.  Either a Borg WarnerT-10, or a World Class T-56.  I want to run it in XO/STR class, but the guys at landspeed.com are telling me I can't.  WTH?  SO, am I running it in D/STR Class?  I read the rules, and I guess I don't know enough about the engines in the book to say what they are, as opposed to what I have....

 

yblock32deuce- thanks man.  I have been looking at SBC motor mounts.  They MIGHT just work without too much work.  Of course, I say that now....I'll look you up in the HAMB
