I have a new appriciation for guys putting cars together!
I have been driving my 34 roadster around with no fenders for the past couple years. I decided I needed to take the next step and over the past several weeks did some repair work and installed my fenders. This is a nice original car and the fenders are also very nice...and it was still a pain installing them and getting them to fit! Especially the fronts. I am leaving the car in primer for now until I can afford to do the body work and paint it. I was being really careful and I still scratched them a little in a few places. It made me think how hard it is to not only get everything to line up, but to put a nice painted car together without damaging the finish!
Warning it's a little hot roddy- I will delete this if guys don't want it on here

Chris,
Your car looked good before. Now, it just simply looks great with the fenders. Man, it sits right and just looks right. Great work. Tim |

Mike, in the second photo the fender was loosly hanging there with no fender brace...that's why it looks droopy. The braces were painted and drying

I don't know what you mean by one piece...It's stock bows and irons. The irons have been cut down a little and the center bow leaned forward. It still folds like factory.

You know, I loved that car sans fenders, but now it's so good, it hurts a little. Those fenders have to stay on now.
Well done that man. Martin. |

Wow '34 Roadsters are so sexy they should be illegal.
I have looked at post #1 about ten times today! The American flag is great in shot #1. It seems like your across-the-street neighbors don't like drop-in visits! -VT/JeffH |

Haha, I live in an old 20's house that used to farm all the surounding land. They are slowley developing eveything around it...so it looks kind of desolate now but in a few years I bet it will look more lively
