Washing the coupe before I rolled it into the garage, I discovered the old paint was under the flat primer that was sprayed on it where the coupe was chopped in the 80's
the color turned out to be a GM color called Tropic Turquoise from a 1958 Chevy Impala
my son saw what I was doing and decided to help out with the process.
moving forwards the roof and deckled will be color matched to the rest of the car. it was a fun long very rewarding process...thanks for all the recent likes, follows and comments ! I'm new to this RU-vid thing and you guys are my motivation.

Thank God to the Shifters of SoCal for bringing back the resurgence of nostalgic Hot Rodding back in the early 90's - without them, we'd still be living in a billet Street Rod world. Cool '34

@nzsaltflatsracer8054 4 года назад

Yeah I agree. Rodding had lost it's roots everywhere except with the Shifters back then. They were responsible for the rebirth of the sport from the boring checkbook cars where most people that drove one weren't Hot Rodders, just wannabe's with money.

A neighbor guy in the 1960's had a `39 Ford coupe painted Turquoise. It looked pretty sweet that color. It had baby moon caps with beauty rings on turquoise rims and big wide whitewall tires. The interior was done in a deeper turquoise and white tuck and rolled - that wasn't upholstered very well. Never saw the engine - but it was a V8 with loud cherry bomb mufflers.

Looks like you're having a ball with that old girl. I have an old 34 Ford 2 door sedan rod that I found over in Fargo, North Dakota. It has an older Chevy 327 and I have cleaned and updated the interior and exterior. So it is possible to find some of the older classic hotrods even now. This was a farmers old hotrod that he used to tear up the streets of ND and Minnesota. Good luck with your new toy.

If you wanted to repaint, it's 1956 Studebaker sky hawk turquoise. Great find and chopped and channeled right, east cost style. It is in my estimation the only chop and channel that looks right on the 34 especially if one is running with an open engine compartment.

Tropical turquise code 1010, is a 57 gm color. One year only. The 1958 color is called " Tropic turquise" code 1011 Also one year only. The 58 color is lighter. I hope this helps you, I think the color would look great on the car, besides being period ccorrect to when the car was built, you wont see another one like it

@ThisOldHotrod 3 года назад

The color of this particular car is Tropic Turquoise 1958 color. The car is painted at this point, but thank you for the comment and paint code.

@LivingOnCash 4 года назад

Man, I thought it looked good sitting on the trailer in your last video but now in the shop and down to the turquoise paint, it looks even better! Pplease stick with the chrome reversed and maybe some pie crust cheater slicks in the back.

@ThisOldHotrod 4 года назад

Mystery Meat absolutely staying with the chrome reversed. I won’t change that. I have found an old vintage set that have a similar patina as the fronts. I’m not a huge fan of pie crusts. I like the look but the ride is horrible. I drive my cars and want them to drive nice.

@LivingOnCash 4 года назад

@@ThisOldHotrod I was thinking about a set of the Towel City Pie Crusts for my '34 coupe. I didn't know they had a hard ride. What do you think you will run for tires? What size are the chrome reversed's that you found?

@ThisOldHotrod 4 года назад

Mystery Meat they’re 15”x 8” chrome reverse w a 3.5” back spacing. Similar to what is on the car now. 15x8.5” I’m not entirely sure what I’ll run for tires. The ones on the car are 8.20-15. If I can find a similar size I’ll buy them. Not sure who is making a tire that size that have a wide tread patch like these. I have H-78’ on my 30 coupe. The L-78 tires are a bit taller than the H and may be a good candidate. I haven’t got that far yet.

@LivingOnCash 4 года назад

@@ThisOldHotrod My wheels are also 15x8 but had smaller tires to fit under the fenders. I just took the fenders off and will probably channel the body some but will run a taller tire (in the process of converting from a street rod to a proper hot rod). Been looking around at various options but haven't found anything I like. I like the square edged look of the pie crusts but I too will be driving this car a lot so want a nice ride. Not crazy about the look of radials because they all have that rounded edge and just don't look right on a traditional car. I'll be following you to see what you come up with.

I'll just add I had 3 1958 chevys I'm sure you can get a color chart off ebay, I had a friend that died 3 years ago that had a 34 ford 3 window awsome car I knww inside and out, sold and went to Canada, I've also had a friend that had a cameo chevy pickup with a 1957 pontiac with 3-2s that couldn't be beat period. 1957 pontiac could beat chevys by 4 or 5 carlinks . You won't be sorry if you get one in the 34. In this same pickup normally would have a chevy in it and on Fri or Sat night drags if he got beat, we would go home and switch in the pontiac with 3-2s and come back the next night and race for money. It was great.
