The flathead six idea is unique! If the car stays this way I will put some cycle type front fenders on. I also would like to abbreviate the rears but only if I can find a fender that fits the radius. My stock rears are in too good of shape to cut up and I would probably never find another set. The low hanging exhaust is the result of poor placement around the transmission this would be corrected during the engine swap.

I'm honestly caught between the fenders/no fenders concept. While the fronts are off I plan to media blast them and get them ready for paint. Chuck

Nice car either way. I like it with fenders. Without, everything in front of the rear wheel seems to be a straight line. At least in the two photos - might be different in person. But the photo with the fenders gives a more flowing look to the car.

Actually with the frame painted black it makes the car body look narrow. I'm going to try it red and see how that looks. I've noticed a lot of unchanneled cars have the frame the same color as the body. Chuck
