    I like it either with or with out fenders. I think going with the fenders would be a little better since your '29 is a stripped down Hot Rod Roadster so I would want something a little different with this one. But really you can't go wrong!!!

    Very cool score Chris! Man, that's 3 33/4's in a year. Quit horse tradin now and start building!
    I vote fenders all the way. problem is that a full set of fenders, boards, etc. is almost like saving up to buy another body!

    Yes, no fenders. If you want fenders , finish the '39 coupe next. Too many '33/34's in Spokane already with fenders.. A nice top with that chopped windshield would look good but you might have to cut off your head to pull that one off. M5423 rocks!

    What ever you do DO NOT USE metal in the doors. They end up looking like **** with metal in the doors. We were lucky when we got ours it came with OLD Wood Art wood. I have read bad things about the new Wood Art.

    Nice score. They look good either way but I prefer hiboys. Here are a couple of real deals in the LA area...purple one is a Wescott. Good luck with the build. Take them anyway you can find them.

    I got a couple fendered coupes too, remember. Maybe that should be my new "thing"...Coupes=fendered, roadsters= highboys. OR I could mix things up a bit and build my 39 coupe fenderless....think about it!!
