I'm an old ford truck guy... I have been in this early V8 dreamworld for well over 30 years but never owned an early V8 car, just trucks. But I gotta sit here on my couch banging on my laptop keys and tell you that is truly the most beautiful automobile I have ever laid my eyes on. End of rant

I really like the blackwall tires (on stock wheels) on the car. Thanks for sharing.

In about a month or so I’m going to be changing out to five stock powder coated rims, so I’ll resend photos when I get that project completed, just to have a different look and options.

The glove box clock I’ve had for many years, just waiting for the right car to put it into. Had it mounted on the correct glove box door with my Woodgraining on it, now I have to pull the dash and match it up

The lines on 33 and 34 Fords are beautiful when stock. Thank you for not dropping it and installing later wheels.

The 34 Ford Roadster is the most beautiful vehicle ever made. Bar none.

I cannot agree with this....beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whilst a 34 Ford roadster is a very pretty car, I do not think any one particular vehicle can be described as the world's most beautiful car made. That is only your OPINION Lawson.

I kinda like Cords and Duesenburg's myself. '34 Fords are cool, though.

I'd like a 34 Packard roadster if I had an extra 250k

John,Is it possible to have the GB door wood grain matched to the dash instead of pulling the dash?

Hello Deuce Lover, I like to do my own Woodgraining, and had already done the glove box door and the ashtray radio, and by doing the roadster dash in my same pattern, I can interchange the glove box from standard door to glove box clock, to glovebox radio, and also with the ashtray can do standard ashtray or ashtray radio back-and-forth from the Coupe to the Roadster, and whichever one doesn’t have the glove box clock would get the Sandoz back wind clock in the mirror
