    That is truly a hot rod. Beautiful car, well done.
    Not many comments on this thread, maybe due to time differences, so bttt so others will appreciate it also.
    Thanks for posting.

  8. A few years back, when first registering a car in BC, Canada it had to be inspected. And it had to have fenders (that has now changed fortunately), and bumpers etc. So I built a set of cycle fenders, and some steel tube bumpers. As it turns out, I must not be that good a fabricator because as soon as the car was registered, the fenders and bumpers "fell off"...lol.

    Like your car, nice job!

    Rear are steel vintage tractor fenders , front is fiberglas for now.
    I can take them of in 2 min and put them in the trunk. I prefer to go without but laws over here.... BAF4BDF1-BD47-451D-85EC-2DFD1458EE22.jpeg 499653D4-8910-407D-8DB6-2D3E3EED14C0.jpeg 33CD221F-2414-42DF-A3A8-58C3F1E12ECF.jpeg 7

    Thank you for sharing! It rains too much around me in Idaho not to have fenders, and a top. I really like how you did things allowing for quick removal.

    Didn't like the straight shifter so blended a old jeep shifter and my t5 shifter into something more traditional looking.
