That was the topic of this mornings decussion with Jim. He is building a new hot rod. Can not decide...fenders or no fenders. For what he is building I vote NO FENDERS! It will just look bad ass without fenders. Now...when he gets to building the 1936 Ford Pickup, it will have to have fenders. Just wouldn't look right without them.
This new hot rod it chopped a bit and has a tapered channel. Not going to be much room in the actual cab. But will be neat, none the less.
Any of you that know Jim and know his work. Know that it is going to be one sweet ride. Goal is a cab at the end of the month. Mind you. He started with only two doors, a cawl up to the front corners of the roof and the back of the cab. He has had to make door jams. That including putting a double step into them. Adding a connecting piece from the front corner to the back corner. Both sides. Adding drip rails. Patch panels. And, of course, a chop. The chop is just enough to make it look good.
Emma has put her two cents in. She said that it needs to be painted the same color as the kitchen because the color Jim picked for the kitchen according to her is impressive. Please do not feed his ego. But burgandy would be a nice color. However, Jim is thinking of making it the twin of the roadster. I say NO!!!! They all have their own personalities. Give this truck its own.
