Which radiator shell should I go with?

**Steves32** · 08-23-2010 09:22 PM

My vote would be a 29 shell painted body color & changing the wheels to Halibrands

The painted one is cool but I think I like the chrome better.

I like the painted shell. It really sets off the motor in contrast. Plus if you go with a 29 it will bolt right back into the old spot. No need to have to re fab a new shell to fit.

I vote for the painted grill '29 grill shell. Here is a photo of my '29 roadster with a painted shell. I sold it in 2000 so I could start building my '32.

Hmm, I think you're right....

That looks just a bit too, erm, orange

Here's another chop from the side.

I just noticed the nice work around the top of the windshield to eliminate the visor. Can you post a closer view? I would like to see how that was done. Thanks.

I vote for the chrome smoothie. There's nothing like a chrome shell on a Model A.

**dirtcop** · 08-24-2010 03:06 PM

My 29 shell is painted to match the body. My 30 is polished stainless. Both look good (to me anyway), so it kind of depends on what you like.

**98 SNAKE EATER** · 08-26-2010 05:28 PM

OK, I've tossed it around a bit and I've decided to go with a plated smooth style (no cap or crankhole)

Now the question is where should I get it from?

Speedway never got back to me when I inquired about a smooth style shell and I'd rather not deal with the folks of Fleabay

I put a chrome shell on Sue's R/P, It looked better than a painted one.

**98 SNAKE EATER** · 08-27-2010 05:06 AM

Looks good

What kind of stone guard are you using? (close up pix?)

**roadster32** · 08-27-2010 01:55 PM

There is no stonegaurd fitted i'm afraid.

FWIW, I never ran one either.
