    Favorite Deuce at NSRA at Tampa, FL

     



    This is my favorite Deuce at NSRA at Tampa, FL. What do you think?




    I like the hair pins, old school look, although I always hear 4 bar is smoother. I like the full stock looking hood. I think the 48 Chevy tail lites are a good fit. I also like the stock rear gas tank. But what is the front amber light all about?

    Great lookin' deuce!
    I would guess the amber/fog light is to give the car a "rural" look at least that holds true to the muscle cars of the 60's. At first I didn't like the amber fog light on hot rods but then it kind of grew on me and gives it a unique look. I plan on runnin' one on my T tudor.
    Me: I don't know how to build a hot rod.

    Me:Yeah...

    I like it, but if it was mine, the amber light would have to go. Everything else is right on, IMHO.

    I agree with rumrumm... Very nice car, but I would trash the fog light. Or maybe put a matching one on the other side. Can't help it; I like symetry. Besides, I've driven in heavy fog and one fog light is not sufficient...

    I saw the car at the Tampa show, if I remember correctly, it was a club medallion.

    The fog just don't look right on that car to me, I like them but that one isn't working whereas the one on DA34GUY's car looks right at home, maybe too in ya face ?
