    Like them best just on the front...with stock/bobbed rear fenders. Here is a perfect example.

    I would rather not have them, but this is England and it rains...a lot! And the Police can take issue.
    I used spare wheel covers as they are a 'period' feature. The rears being something of a token gesture. P1040900_edited_edited.jpg

    Good-lookin' fenders! Thanks for the link, Phil.
    Took me a bit to find the ribbed fenders, but find them I did.
    Maybe a little pricey, but I'm a tightwad. Gonna have to splurge on my T.

    Ran them on the front only. But they were easily removable. 12-25-2010_021.JPG

    dislike them enough to consider putting the house up for sale and moving to a different state [province]]
     
  14. Sure they can, just look back thru all the cars posted in this thread.

    There are a lot of guys that live in States, Provence's & Country's that require/mandate fenders, if a guy likes want's a hiboy and doesn't particularly want stock fenders by all mean's run cycle fenders.

    If you live where you are not required to have fenders but want to use motorcycle fenders use them. HRP

    upload_2020-9-30_4-47-47.png A pure 1959 hot rod with cycle fenders. The photo was taken in the Lion's Dragstrip pits parking area.

    Hello,

    My friend had a 5 window 1934 Ford full-fendered coupe that ran as a daily driver and in the A/Gas class at Lion’s Dragstrip. But, while hanging around the pits area of Lions one Saturday, I came across this cool looking Ford coupe with modified fenders. Driving around in a So Cal rain throws stuff up from the front tires if not covered by a fender. The rears on this coupe won’t help much as it will get thrown all over the trunk and license plate area. So, good and bad on short cycle-style fenders.

    Having been a Harley Sportster Owner/Rider, we know the value of front fenders. It keeps you clean on any drive, let alone in any kind of traffic on the local highways. The front tires are notorious for throwing anything up and into the eyes/face of the rider or in a hot rod, the driver’s side area. Going through puddles, left over from a rain, usually leaves a wet trail on the front of the t-shirt and pants.

    Jnaki

    These chrome front fenders look like big Harley front fenders supplied by any Harley dealer, anywhere. Problem solved… For narrower hot rod front tires and to keep the close in look, there are other dealers/manufacturers that have a different thinner look with rounded edges.
