    Wow what a work of art. Thanks for sharing your info on the plywood roof insert. I did the same on my 32 sedan and with in a few weeks the plywood should be covered and no longer seen.

    After all of the work it took to make it a full fendered car, I can see why so many choose to leave the fenders off.

    No shit!!!! I found out the same thing. Dollars and time add up making it fendered.
     
  11. I had the same thoughts when keeping the fenders on my sedan. But well worth the effort. The car looks killer.
