  3. Has been scrolling through all posts over a couple of days, in order to find pictures of Model A roadsters with bobed original rear fenders and cycle/‘36 spare tire cover front fenders, and found these.
    If anyone is having more, please share! @GordonC, have you got more of yours?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sure. I have a few. Let me know if there is something specific you'd like to see. The rears have 5 3/4" cut from them and then put back together. The fronts I just went with what would provide decent coverage so I wouldn't get spray from the front tires all over the car. Just trimmed and cut to fit.

    Here is a good shot showing how much was removed from the back of the rear fenders and where. The blue square area had damage that I fixed. The blue tape line across the bottom is where I cut from and then down 5 3/4". The front of the rear fenders are just cut off even with the body. 20160314_180718.jpg

  6. Thanx, @GordonC! A few more of the full car would be highly appriciated.
    I was given these rear fenders, and found a ‘36 spare tire cover, and contemplating the look of it, if used (Danish law requires fenders): 68D95C57-6DDE-4D16-8432-32D1238ADF9B.jpeg

    Aussie rego 'requires' fenders & always has, so there are plenty of examples of success & failure in terms of guards/fenders that are esthetically pleasing to the eye.

  8. Danish rules too- but most run full or no (illigal) fenders.
    If you have any pics, @Outback, please share- if not thread related, please PM. :)

  10. Dropped axle is in it now. Got the steering arms heated and bent. Engine is mocked up and firewall modification to fit are it in progress. Once that is done, I'll pull the engine. Tear that apart and double check everything. Then slide it back in with the transmission. I also need to pull the rear end and swap the spring and get the backing plate on it. I have all the brake stuff ready. I've got a coupe going together for a customer, once that is done, I"ll get back on it. Might be a whole car soon!

    Nothing crazy here but reverse eye in the back with 3 leafs moved under and a reverse eye front with a 3" A axle dropped by Oklahoma Joe and 40 brakes and all original steering
