Course "back in the day", the reason for removing fenders was to save weight and thereby make the car faster. So why keep the splash aprons?

IMHO, aprons without fenders look funny - like the job of either taking off the fenders or putting them on wasn't finished. Course, I also don't like the look of a highboy A on an A frame - the sides of the body extend too far past the frame rails. Maybe it's the bead or something, but a 32 frame looks better.
