Default Re: '40 front fenders

Go for it. You can do it!!!

I collect homey-did prewar trains. Built during the wars and depression by a retired mechanic, Gramps, out-of-work person with a barn full of metal parts for some good reason like for his grandson, replacement for a broken train, freight car, etc. I'm amazed at the material and skills displayed. Especially the love built into the project. I hold a particularly good loco made from regular kitchen containers. Ladies who visit love guessing what the can/lid/top came from. A friend's grand dad said to Al one day, "wanna go out to the barn and build a steam engine?!!!!!" Al still runs it and his grandson is in line to get it next.

Ask what you need: I sure some Barner's may have some fun parts you can use. A Barner got me an original pair of curb scratchers for the driver's side of my '39 peekup. Momma's side has the white walls and she don't want no curb scratchers on her pretty side! (You would be surprised how many folks do not know what curb scratchers are!!)
