Hey!
Here some pics of my ride : 2CV6 1983.
I took these pics 3 weeks ago, before the french national meeting. The roof rack is from the gs of my father he had in 80's and 90's.
I made the fake rust color last summer, 5 days work. It looks pretty cool but I think I will make it better in the future. Now it looks too clear and too red I think, but anyway it's cool!
I found the roofrack the last month and I fixed it with some "Lefol" 2cv roof fixation i had for a long time.
Tires are 145/65 r15 Maxxis (smart size) and make the car a little bit lower, but the front fender looks maybe too much empty now. Here the frame was 4 cm from the ground... too low even if it doesn't look too low. Damned 12cm size chassis! I wish I make a channelling on this 2CV!
Now the car is a little bit higher, and the bacl a little bit lower (no rake anymore). It's lower than a regular 2CV but it still looks like off-road car _________________ www.super2cv.com |

2 other Olli's pics at the national meeting:
Without the fornt plate, my 2cv looks much more better!!
I will make a smaller plate soon, and I have some other project :
- turn signals in front lights (and not in the fenders as now)
- front lights closer to the bonnet (like old ones)
- old back face with small rear lights
- change the inside
I will let you know for the next modifications! _________________ www.super2cv.com |

I think I will install the turn signals in the front lights instead of the parking lights!
Je pense que je vais mettre les clignotants dans les feux avants à la place des veilleuses! _________________ www.super2cv.com |

Cool roof rack. I like the way it fits to the 2cv. It has the same curve.
What's the difference between a hoodride and a ratlook? |

Good question...
What is Hoodride?
- a car in orginial condition with used marks, or rust (or fake made just like real)
- low as possible, and better with some fun old rusty accessories (roofrack and stuff)
Most of hoodride cars are VW beetle ...
Look at that : http://www.hoodride.com
you'll see that is more than just a car style.
Example :
Rat look is more dirty way (hoodride car are mostly clean, rusty but clean).
Some examples of rat look :
often black mat :
Sometimes these style are close in result but I thing the mind is different. Hoodride is more for the style of old stuff, and rat look is more to make something ugly and chock people...
Anybody else? _________________ www.super2cv.com |

It looks good.
How do you make the fender? Other one or welding the original?
Thanks for the info. |

Yep same fender. I just weld a small iron part and made the shape with bondo.
It's not perfect but hoodride car a great for these kind of stuff, they don't need to be perfect and make new paint is easy! I tried a new kind of used paint _________________ www.super2cv.com |

Yes it's done and I got a small front plate!
I already made a short front light support (like old 2CVs) but I didn't install it yet!
Inside : mexican blanket and coffe bags on doors, but everything else is still to do...
