    Just finished putting fenders on our 3w. Here’s a pic of how it was when we got it and now with fenders and a wheel change.

    I like ‘32s highboy or fendered, but to me this car needed fenders. What does everybody think?

  9. The fenders look great but the original wheel/tire combo were doing the fenderless version no favours.

    To me cars with fenders always look better the high boys. Especially cabriolets.

    I like the picture with fenders, but I don’t know if it’s cause I like the new wheels or the fenders themselves. Anyhow, I’d be as happy as a pig in mud to own either of those cars

    I think the wheel change made the bigger difference.

  14. Congratulations on having the good sense to put fenders back on your coupe. The fenders raise the class level a bunch. Model A's and 32's have the most beautiful fenders ever designed. FTF my ass!

    I like 32's with or without fenders,but a un-chopped 3 window looks much better with fenders. HRP

  18. sitting that high in the air and with that tire/wheel combo (not the steel ones), the fenders and wheels are a tremendous improvement.
    well played

    Unchopped without fenders is too top heavy .
    The fenders filled out the bottom.
    Looks great.

    Just my opinion but highboy roadsters look great. Highboy coupes not so great. I think your car would look outstanding channeled over the frame..............Yes, it looks better with fenders.

    Doyle Gamma proved that 3 windows look best with fenders. Your car reaffirms that 3 windows and fenders go perfect together. Roadsters, well that's another argument altogether!
