I have noticed that without the fenders there is a gap under the trunk with nothing to cover it up. Will probably try to get a gas tank or something to put there.

I have built two of the Blueprinter version of the AMT '34 recently. This is the one with the stock beam axle and leaf spring suspension so I suspect the stance sits higher. However, both were essentially fenderless.

If you channel the body you don' t have to do anything since lowering the body over the frame gets rid of the gap. I'm assuming your gonna build it as a highboy. On my highboy I also used the valence that covers the gas tank like Raul and Robert did, but in my case I reversed it to create a tucked under rolled pan:

Here's the channeled version in case your tempted to channel this beast (warning: it's no picnic although the result is very, very cool!):

Looks nice so far. I agree with kustom about the color. Maybe I'll use it, too! :lol:

BTW Raul, nice job. I'll remember that approach if I ever tackle a '34 highboy again...
