  14. No ****tersheild??? Honestly, any smallblock needs one. You could fab one up with 1/2" plate.

    That would make it an altered, not a g***er.

    Either way, it's a really cool car that says "Don't even bother thinking about messing with me".

    Using the fender's give the car the solid look of a "g***er" with the slicks poking out in back and the space between the front rollers and fender lip..
    IF i were building it, i'd keep the fenders for sure.
    Looks cool either way, but imho better with em on.

    Looks MUCH better with the fenders, but hey, different strokes for different folks. I like A's both ways.

    Man, that looks perfect with fenders. Without them, it looks like it sits way too high.
