    Cool car either way, but as said before, if you go fenderless, get rid of those front steamrollers!
     
  7. I can't decide. I think it looks good either way

    If it were mine, I would like it without fenders but with a different wheel/tire setup.

    I like fenders on my cars,a lot more work sometimes. It has to be up to the builder,what do YOU like.
     
  10. What Larry W said because at the end od the day it's your car not everyone else's

    My opinion fender-less

    It'll look good either way

    My '95 Caprice has fenders. My T does not. Fenders are for new cars. Bias plies and sell the fenders to pay for the tires.

    From what I've seen, you have owned pretty much all fenderless cars in the past, maybe it is time for one with fenders. I also agree the front tires are a tad too wide if fenderless, but who am I to tell a guy of your skill level what is right ? :eek::D

    Fenders but the front tires you are running is going to make for a bad handling ride.
     
  15. Jim hard decision looks good both ways, I really like the way the fenders lay over the fronts and I am also an FTF sort of a guy.

    I think fenders and independent front ends, like the MustangII go hand in hand, however, a solid front axle looks good with out fenders.

    It depends on the application.

    Full fenders seem to look better with that custom made roof.
