Features Model A's with fenders and running boards... let's see 'em

my offering....

 

Mine.

 

Slick ride

I've gotta admit... the full fenders and boards are really growing on me. Frankly fenderless cars appear more racy but a well done car with the "flappers" on it is quickly gaining appeal... as has clearly been seen in this thread.

Maybe having fenders and running boards on your car will be the new flat black and red wheels by next year.

 

Of course; On a car; But it ain't all for look. Trimming off excess weight is the reason real hot rodders take the fenders off..............

 

So... aluminum blocks and heads, titanium chassis and steering components and carbon fiber body panels are the new flat black & red wheels???

I'm still slowly gathering the parts to do my fenderless coupe on a '32 chassis (almost there)... but after that I'm seriously considering building a '28 roadster with fenders-n-boards.

Hey thanks for letting me know I aint a real hot rodder!

 

Hot rodders usually took their fenders/boards off at the "lakes", or wherever else they raced. Not really necessary for bombing around on the streets. I like fenders and boards. It almost looks unique next to all the fenderless cars out there. I also am digging unchopped Model A's and 32's. There's oh so many chopped, that the unchopped ones are beginning to appear "trick" to me

A quick cell phone pic I took this weekend at Titus' house. This is his neighbor Brian's A Tudor. Dropped axle, juice brakes, 40 banjo rear, hopped up flathead 8 and toploader. Way cool!

 

And my in-progress A Tudor that Titus is building:

 

... and that's exactly why I started this thread... the HAMB is a sea of fenderless (but good) traditional cars... but the ratio of fenderless to fendered has to be 10:1. As a matter of fact... has anyone seen or can recall a "build" thread of a fendered "A" ?

Not trying to move OT here... but I think '33's & '34's look way better with fenders than they do without them.

I betcha' we've all seen a gazillion "street rod's" over the years with fenders... and almost every one of them has some crappy looking graphics... and billet... lot's and lot's of billet.

 

A few more that I've collected from this site (some of which may be in this thread already):

Is Titus starting some new baby-blue wheel trend over there in Minnesota... or did you have to put them back on the roadster after the picture?

(Btw... that roadster is looking sweet and the windshield is killer... hope to see it this weekend at BTT50'z)

 

K you win...

 

HAHA . . . what's funny about that is I had always planned on baby blue for this car and I've had the car for 21 years. Then Titus painted the wheels on his (now FalconMan's) 36 roadster baby blue. He started on my car shortly after that. Then Stacie started on her roadster and went with baby blue wheels that she had planned on for 3 years. There's a whole lot of teasing each other going on at Titus' shop when were all there working on our hot rods.

 

Maybe y'all've seen the pastel colored cars in Edward Scissorhands too many times...

"Tuesday's with Titus" must be a helluva' fun night.

After peeking at your thread I think I just might have to go see if the old timer that has this in his back forty is ready to part with it yet... I'm sure my family would rather have a 4 seater... but this isn't about them...

My dad is on here now too, so far just a lurker though. I got him registered & ready to go, he just has not posted anything yet. He is Rons30Coupe.

 

Here is a picture of my car.

 

Here's mine - more pics in my profile:

My Tudor will have a back seat. Not a whole lot of room for much else in a Tudor, but you can seat 4 so long as you don't channel it and Z the frame all to hell.

 

some I like

 

OHC 2L Ford powered.

 

sure ....lots...... glad you like it. Here's a few.

 

I'd be curious if someone did a poll after this thread to see if more people like fendered or non. I prefer fenders. But, if more people did fendered, it may be less novel.

 

Fendered, no chop, steelies, no offense, if I had a chance to pick any of the previous.... Corn Cobs. Its just rare to have the soft top. All are way kool.

 

Mine...
