    What do think guys, should I go full fendered or high-boy? Will be traditional either way with a 56 olds 324 and buggy springs front and rear. 2016-10-07 13.04.22.jpg 2016-10-07 13.06.56.jpg

  6. So you are asking for opinions. I am opinionated so I will give mine. Sedans look stupid without fenders so I would run fenders.

  18. Fenders. Paint the belts another color and add a narrow pin stripe.

    I'll go against the grain. I've had 3 full fendered deuce 2 doors and 2 chopped Highboy sedans. I enjoyed the highboys much more because they were black suede and just in my mind looked more like an old hot rod. I currently have a FF sedan delivery. If I live long enough I will build another black suede highboy sedan slammed on the ground like the others.

    I always thought like krylon32, that they look more like a hot rod with no fenders.

  22. Guess it all depends on if you want a Hot Rod, or an old man's car, haha, joke.
    I'll go against the tide here, two door Sedans sure look great, Hot Rodded with no fenders.
    I do like em with fenders, but they don't have the presence of a chopped, hoodless, fenderless car, imo.

    I don't have the funds for any 32, ,,,,so I started with a cut-off roof 5w that nobody wanted badly. I figured, heck, if I go no fenders, it's way cheaper, way less body work, less everything. It just never looked right to me, so I tried a pair of affordable (damaged) rear fenders, then added cycle fenders up front...nope, still looks awful.

    The problem was that I started building models in 59 or so, and where I grew up, there was not even one highboy, ever. It was channeled coupes with bobbed rears and cycles, or full fender. So, I can't wrap my fading memory around a highboy. I ended up with something like 1961-era Model kit or autorama cars here of that time.

    The hobby is what feels right to the builder, not really following other peoples memories from another era, and location.

  27. Mine is high boy.
    But I would fender- if I had them.

    every body here has some awesome 32s by the way

    I own a full fendered 32 Tudor (one rear fender and the running boards have never been off the car, ever), and there's no way I would ever take those fenders off. But if I was to build another Tudor I might do a highboy. Highboys are for guys who dont like bodywork.
