    Fenders all the way. It sits nice as is. Rolling stock change and lose the 90's exhaust tips and it'll be a different car.
    Stealthy flat black alternator kind of hides between the radiator hoses. A polished aluminum one would really be a distraction against that Flatty.

    Well it seems to be fenders, I as well think it would look good keeping them. I did finish installing the new carbs, fuel pump, fuel line, and regulator today. What a difference, I finally gave up on the 2 ....94,s I had and bought the new 97,s made by Speedway....bolted them on and did some small adjustments. They run great, I am smiling from ear to ear..I must say that was money well spent. IMG_20171231_123346.jpg IMG_20171231_123336.jpg

    Finally had the rear rims delivered. Went down today to get them mounted and balanced, on the way I had the muffler shop redo the tail pipes. The wife and I can't wait to take the car to Turlock. IMG_20180113_134454.jpg IMG_20180113_134431.jpg IMG_20180113_134431.jpg

    So this morning I decided to put all new brakes up front. New rotors drilled for 5 on 4.5, calipers and pads. She should stop a whole lot better. IMG_20180114_081023.jpg
