ramonesblues Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 It looks a LOT better fender less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharr7226 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 This is very inspiring work with or without the fenders. But, I like it better without the fenders also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker589 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 It looks a LOT better fender less. I gotta go with this opinion - Being fenderless has some nice edge to it. The white-walls add to the edge. With fenders - it looks too late Barris-like. I'm more a fan of The Barris brothers before Sam died. After the Hirohata Merc - George got too Hollywood - just too bling-bling for me - not enough design restraint. What "LOOK" are you going for? P.S. -I know I may have stepped on a few toes expressing my opinion of George - I'm sorry. I did get to meet him a few years ago - It was quite a highlight - even if he was trying to pick up the blond that was hanging out at his autograph table - she may have been one third his age! More power to ya, George! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra98 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 VERY COOL!!!.....I'm sure it'll look awesome either way you build it but,the fenderless- whitewall version just screams "Hey,Look at ME" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Way cool! But I have to vote for the fenderless version too. Very creative either way, though! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticWagens Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I am loving it, however I really liked the first version much better being fenderless and big ole' whites. The rear Impala is stunning, and personally you are taking away from this important detail with the fenders. They almost clash. None the less, I like it!
