Many auto enthusiasts mistakenly think that the top supports attached to the body of Ford roadsters are "rumble seat handles". The folding top rests on those supports.

Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress really,really nice!

Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress Very nice, you can tell from the two photos this is a future show winner. I don't know enough about photography, but always noticed how pin striping always looked way wider in photos that in real life. Look forward to more photos. Bob

Beautiful car! Is it a V8? |
Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress Looks fantastic David!

Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress Very, very nice! A standard is such a challenge. I was lucky to see an original, low mileage standard roadster years ago. What immediately struck me were the top details, especially the weird top material. It looked to be a real challenge to duplicate.

Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress very nice work

Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress Very nice David. Any possibilities for this one being at the GNM this June?

Re: '32 standard roadster project - some further progress Thanks for all of the generous compliments.
In response to the comments and questions: - It is a V-8 - It is a fairly late car and therefore has the black canvas top which was a running change to replace the short-grain artificial leather top material that carried over from its use on Model A standard roadsters and phaetons. - I agree that striping often looks too wide in photos, especially in this case where the metallic gold on black really stands out. Rest assured that it is the correct width in real life. - I like both standard and deluxe models and each has their unique challenges. I'm not a big fan of cowl lights as I think that they break up the flow of the cowl into the hood so that is a plus for the standards, but to each his own. I also have a standard phaeton in final assembly. That and this roadster are my little rebellion against the long-standing practice of restoring standard open cars as deluxe models. -The plan is for it to be completed in time for the GNM and all that is left to do is the installation of the fenders, running boards, bumpers, and head lamps, all of which are ready. But, the best laid plans of mice and men .... |
