do you think the rusty hood is a good look ?

[Festiva_tunner]

I personally like the rusted hood . . .

On old rabbits and rat rods - a rusty hood on a new car looks aweful the paint needs to be matte or flat and the car has to look old or agressive to pull it off.

A propper rusted hood is no easy task - you have to prep the hood (shave the paint. Then you need to apply a oxidiser or let it sit for a week. After you have a complete surface rust accross the whole hood you need to prep the surface again and then apply a sealer (to stop the orange streaks)

Im hoping dings will become in vogue next.

Ha if thats the case my car is the ultimate supermodel

No!
Women here are crazy!

Ask Jim.
He's already been warned.
lol.

I can second that - known to many girls from there lol all cute as hell but just as crazy lol

^^ I refuse to do that to your car. And if you do it to that beautiful ride of yours then you are no longer in our club and you have to give us back the decoder ring :p

I was just talking about the pile of rusty hoods I have laying around...LOL

Now, if you want to get a second Festy and do it old skool rat rod style....we're the guys you need to be hanging out with :mrgreen:

This will be our next rat rod project

If you put a rusty hood on that truck I will beat you - now a fox` petinea would look sharp

of course a flat black festy with 15" whites with primer red stealies and pinstripes would look sharp

^^ No way I'd put a rusty hood on my unibody baby! It's hard enough to find one without rust!! She'll be getting bagged and a nice coat of HotRod Flatz

Flat black - Fire engine Red steelies - Rusted hood - and do the Round Headlight Swap and that will look sharp - I like the stance already

[jdm babaganoosh]

[Festiva_tunner]

I dont know if you could find em for 12" rims but find some white walls and moon covers

^^ Maybe check with Coker Tire. They make a tire for anything and everything.

[sasquatch]

ifyou can not get some of them make some... get some cooking woks and glue em to some hub caps

[jdm babaganoosh]

coker doesn't have 12" whitewalls, i checked.

and i'm starting to like my nasty 12"s, they seem to go with the "style" plus tires are CHEAP

You could just go with a set of vintage 13" steelies off an old 6-cyl Falcon or Mustang. Then you could run the "dogdish" hubcaps. Doesn't someone here has a picture of just such a thing?

[Zanzer]

^^ You talking about these?
