Re: Restoration : Rare 1930 Ford Model A Cabriolet

Best of luck. You certainly have your work cut out but under your masterful guidance the work so far is of the highest level. I am finding this thread most involving. Once again, best of luck.

Excellent progress so far and all in the right direction. For final colour what is the plan?

We are thinking of Brewster Green. Any suggestions for color are welcome.

Brewster Green seems fine. Black wings I presume. For the wheels one can go Brewster Green or black. Have you watched Paul Shin's YouTube channel? You may find it enjoyable.

Yes. Brewster Green with Black and Apple green wheels is the standard configuration I guess. Will update when we put samples of the colors. And no I haven't watched the youtube channel but I will surely do it soon. Thanks

Re: Restoration : Rare 1930 Ford Model A Cabriolet

Hi,

Sorry I was not able to update the status from a long time as I was travelling a lot in the last month. The car is painted in original shade of Bronson yellow with Brown. We checked both Kewanee Green and Brewster Green on the car but decided to go with Bronson Yellow as it suits best on this particular body style. Fitting in going on at a frantic pace for the upcoming 23rd Vintage & Classic Car Exhibition in Jaipur. I am uploading some pictures from the ongoing progress:

Re: Restoration : Rare 1930 Ford Model A Cabriolet

It has been a hectic week for the restoration team ahead of the upcoming Jaipur Vintage & Classic Car Rally. They have done a fabulous job and the car is now ready just in time for the show. I am attaching some pictures of the complete car. Will upload more in a day or two.

WOW! What an amazing restoration job. Your attention to detail is staggering. The colour selection is perfect. I have followed your journey and have to say it was most enjoyable. I wish many happy miles ahead. I hope that if there is a prize to win at the Vintage & Classic Car Exhibition in Jaipur, you secure the fist place.
