Hot Rods Fenders or not?

I know, it's my car and I should do what makes me happy, but I am torn on whether to run fenders and bumpers or not. The fenders and bumpers are in pretty good shape (not perfect by any means) but I also love fenderless hot rods. I am going to run 15" steelies and wide whites which may look small in those large wheelwells. (or may not as I don't have the tires mounted yet) Let me hear some opinions!

 

I'd leave the fenders.
Since you already got em.


Or if you wanna ditch them than you could sell them
for a few bucks to go towards other parts.
Either way sweet ride!

 

On.

 

I am leaving my fenders, losing the bumpers....

 

being a 4door , its not one that lends to no fenders . not saying it wont work , but even tudors do really like no fenders . it a roadster thing i think .... steve

 

if its stock leave em on, if you go hotrod i vote off. it depends on engine/trans rear end choices

 

leave em on! ur car though

 

Looking good


Yep fenders on....................


.

 

Yup, fenders stay on! DD

 

Big sedan like that needs fenders..JMO

I even think the Ford Tudors look better with fenders..but , thats just how i roll

 

Fenders

 

on......you take em off & it will look like a car without fenders.
my $.02
"and the bowtie rolls on"

 

Four doors and Fenders are made for each other. Leave the bumpers if you got 'em too. Then screw it all down to the ground and make the tires just right in the weheel wells and you'll have it done. Cool car.

It is what it is, One more vote for fenders...

 

90% of the time 4 doors look better with Fenders on.

 

If you do go fenderless, keep your options and fenders where you can go both ways (no sexual connotations meant).

 

Fenders yes!

 

Thank you for the replies! I trust the opinions of HAMBers and agree the 4-door sedan may be a bit large for the fenderless look and since I have 'em I might as well use 'em!

 

X 2 it;lt'll just look right

 

Keep the fenders, they just look too cool. They also look real straight, it would be a shame not to keep them.

 

With a huge square beast like that, the fenders are the only thing that gives it some flowing shape.

 

You are right Cleatus, It would look very "boxy" without them. This car is quite a bit larger than a Model 'A' sedan!

 

that's a great picture!
leave fenders on.

 

Looks like its a solid vote for fenders..I agree too, Plus its a whole car so very cool to keep it all intack!

 

you got them already just as well keep them.

 

Looks good ! I vote yes for fenders too !

 

Its all a matter of opinion and my opinion is leave them on, sedans look stupid with the fenders off. It would look like a salvage vehicle.

 

I'm with ODDROD46. Traditional look = Fenders On, Hot Rod = Fenders Off.
Or how about another angle - Fenders On = Protect the Paint, Fenders Off = Lots of Nicks & Scratches. Like you said, Your Car - Your Decission. Good Luck!

 

I like it with fenders

 

Fenders on please.
