...I can't afford it but looking at it is pretty damn stimulating on the eyes...

Not it's first appearance here but it never gets old...

I'll share a link in a bit...

Man that’s neat!

...Downunder Thunder...Hamber @fredeuce's putting her thru the paces...that looks fun with just the right combo of fenders to boot!!!

Tognotti's 'Avenger'

 

I'm calling the front "fenders" on this thing "Fenderlets". I'm building a pair now for my Off Topic project. It's a look I love, and it's rarely seen. My buddy Chad stopped by to see what I was up to, and he likes the idea. Said, "Well, if you don't like 'em you can just take 'em off!" Barris had a set on the Chrisman coupe too.

1950 Portland Oregon
2023 Still in Oregon

 

Is it in Eugene surrounded by good stuff?
You worked for Goodell's in Toledo? My dad drove for JL at times in the 70's.

 

I made these out of trailer fenders

 

In the aviation world the fairings around wheels are sometimes called spats.

 

Hey Coast 40...yes the coupe is still in Eugene in a barn surrounded by great stuff !
Worked for Farwest Freightliner and sold truck parts to JL (RIP) 80's thru 90's
Been to a few car shows in Waldport during those years.

 

Actually, the fairings around wheels/tires on aircraft were called 'Wheel Pants'. (Think of the red and white Granville Bros. "Gee Bees", R-1 and R-2.)
The ones they called 'spats' were around the 'ankle part' of the Oleo struts, and another had large fairings from the wing down to the fronts of the tires, (1933) these were coined "Wheel Trousers"!
No kidding, look it up.

 

...I have acquired a detail for a change down the road...

It was a super deal by a Hotrod friend...thanks Dennis...
​

 

...a previous inspiration...

...this is vintage hotrod in Ontario back in the day...without a doubt there was a real mix of cool going on both sides of the border back then influencing and shaping the grand excellence of the hotrod scene back then...love it!!!

Good start.

...funny story...I was at a local cruise and sat the future front fenders on the tires for those that might have interest...fast forward I was chatting with a friend after the show was over and we were about 100ft away and a couple young fellas in a Tuner car were looking the Ole Hotrod over quite extensively...even with a cell flashlight...they waited out my yapping with my friend and I engaged in conversation...they were into the vintage look and we chatted on for quite some time about what this ride represents and it's plausible postwar (WW11) beginnings to what it is now...sorta circa 1963/4ish...

I talked Bonneville/El Mirage and one pointed to his So-Cal t-shirt...

Anyways I started the car and after 20 or so minutes of warmup...I was getting ready to leave and picked the fenders off the tires...

Didn't they say, "We were wondering how you attached those, they were so tight to the tires"...that was good for a chuckle...

Anyhow...yeah long winded, but it's good to see the younger set still intrigued and admiring the vintage past...

I did say that you work, save up your dollars and buy perhaps a T Roadster as they're cheaper than a Deuce and that's how it happens...not as easy as the good ole days but it is what it is...

Secondly I said, if you really are into vintage Hotrod check out the Hamb...H...A...M...B...it's full of stuff like this...goes hand in hand really.

 

...I jumped the gun a bit and did some abrading in steps from 320 to 1500/2000 and was pretty surprised to see the similarities between bare steel and aluminum...I see polished steel with clear in the future...that or silver paint but I like polished steel better...the braces would also suit a polished look or marroon with pinstripes as well...to follow the theme...just thinking out loud...

...wide, wide, whites eh!!...I thought of AU when I saw this Coupe but nuh uh...BC...I am always amazed at how the looks bounced back and forth between continents back in the day...the power of magazines, travel, allied participation, trade, so many reasons really...fenders really compliment this Hotrod...darn lucky guy I'd say...wish it was in my garage...then I'd have two...

...Hamber @Phil P's Hotrod...

His front fenders are fairly recent addition...well...sorta recently new additions...

He did a nice job on fitting them and they look pretty spiffy...

​

 

Lotta gorgeous in that pic Stan......such an illustrious career that Hotrod had and continues to have...never tire of seeing it either...

I know that guy. Built on an old volvo chassis

 

I like what you fellas get up to over there...that's a pretty unique Sedan and it sits real nice...I was thinking the skull reminds me of one of Norm G's shifter knobs...

 

I was thinking the skull thing is way over done - moves towards the rat rod world

 

Surprisingly it's a lot older than we imagine...spider webs, shrunken heads, skulls, the grim reaper, the devil...these all had vintage origins at varied times in the Hamb period...

Doesn't mean you have to approve and many don't but there are connecting dots and the more modern movements have taken things forward to another level many are not fond of...I'm minimally open to that as well...for me it has to reach back to capture my roving eye...
