trailer fenders on rat rod?

does anybody have pics of those type fenders on a 20's p/u?
i like the idea of having fenders i can remove easily.

i am amazed no one has done this.
oh well .
when i try it i will let you guys know how it works.

If it's what I'm thinking of, it's gonna look like a cheap squarish trailer fender. I think there are better options out there. I'd probably look at old cycle fenders first. PA41 had some spare tire covers that looked cool....

The trailer fender is a great idea. And I have a chrome spare tire cover from a van I have been saving back too.

being able to whip em off and on is the thing for me.
i am going to use this build like a regular car.
and we have rainy seasons.

these things cost 12 bucks each.
i mean what the hell?

Go for it! If cheap and effective is what your looking for then why not? I've walked by those a 100 times at Tractor Supply and thought they would work great for a project myself. They have others that look similar to those on a Willys truck that I thought would look good too.

What you pictured above isn't bad at all - more rounded on the edges than what I was thinking. Maybe round off the front and back. Add some turn light to 'em too, or a trim piece.

I was into Princess Auto, the other day and looked at those same fenders.. they are going onto the rpu this spring. [atleast for the certifacation]

yeah i was thinking about taking the dual wheel trailer fenders and hammering them down on one end to a sloap at the end

I picked up 2 similar ones from Princess Auto here for my sedan.

Make that 2 pair.

Front ones fitted for 'Inspection'

Not a real good pic but these are what the fenders look like that we put on our A. Got em from Harbor Frieght. They are bolted to a bracket that just bolts to the back or the drum with two bolts. Easy to remove if needed.

Sure thing. I'll take my camera over to the shop and take a couple close up shots. Give me a day or so and I'll get em posted for ya.

two days ago my buddy took his roadster for a spin and came back COVERED in mud.
he hit a puddle.
that settled it.
i want fenders!!!!!

Yeah -- open wheels pick stuff up and sling it everywhere. My wife ran over a big pile of doggie doo in a park at a show--things got 'interesting'.

We were following my son in his T Bucket in a rainstorm once-- the 4 rooster tails were most impressive--20' up in the air. At speed he could outrun the water, but at about 15-20 mph the front water spouts came right back down on him..

Hot rods is fun..

PA41

Fenderless is nice looking, but is H E double hocky sticks in any bad weather. One of the main reasons I have run a front fender on all my bikes - I got tired having to ride off to the side in the rain and in a car it's twice as bad if not four times[ha ha]
