Thread: Who knows their pre 32 mopars?

It's that running board piece that throws a twist into the mix. There's lots of bobbed rear fenders out there, and if you put a decent curve on them to flow them into the body they can be OK. Like Driver 50x says, cycle fenders for the front may help with the spray that can drown the driver/passenger on wet roads, but skinny, just barely covering the tread. If she's got to have running boards, I wonder if you could again do some creative sculpturing of the leading edge to flow them from nothing, maybe mid-door so they could still be used by the kids to jump in, but not be too obvious up front? An interesting question, Mr 40FordDeluxe!

You two surely dribbled a bib-full there!
As soon as I read your comments I could just see that in my mind. Done properly (as Ryan always does,) that could be made to look bloody gorgeous, and something entirely different from the usual run-of-the-mill, ho-hum, seen-it-all-before stuff.
