Back in "the day" roadsters ran what was referred to as "motocycle style" front fenders in order to control rocks that were picked up and thrown from
the front wheel tire tread. This very functional "fashion que", however, appears to currently be dormant in the hot rod world. Well, after forking over thousands of G's for a House of Kolor candy paint job guess what gang? My '32 is going to make a single car attempt at bringing this style of fender back. And, if I am not succeesful in reviving the style, I will at least succeed in saving my windshield, as well as my firewall and rear fender paint. (Do not tell anyone but my real reason to run these front fenders is to save my paint. I do not really care if anyone else wants to blow their doe on chipped paint and busted glass. That is their business. And, if the guys who write the hot rod "rags" call me a sissy for running front fenders on my '32 I will gladly
take the fenders off to fit into their idea of what a "real" roadster is if each one of the rod trade magazines will send me a check for $5,000 G's for doing so. ) In the mean time, does anybody know where "old school" style roadster
front cycle fenders can be sourced? Or, do I need to do what my hot rodding fore fathers did, ie get a pair of raw cycle fenders and fabricate my heart out? All input will be appreciated. imp:
