Find a dealer for Albrecht rears
Gaslight is only front fender mfg
Find original fronts if you can

Try Rootlib in Turlock, CA

Oldbluoval · 03-25-2021, 07:45 AM

School me here....
I thought rootlieb made T bodies, hoods and runningboards.
Now fenders? Haven’t checked their website
Their website says only T fenders

You might consider fibergglass??

WESCOTT'S, Boring, Oregon.

Owner posts here. FWIW, not trying to start a controversy, just another option and they would probably be less work/money to fit.

Do a search here for new fenders. You will find many tales of risk and reward.

It’s the fronts that are demons! And with 30 you have to add the short shield which is another high hurdle in itself. I wouldn’t even start with repo fronts but I’m fortunate with bunches

The Albrecht rears work well.....at least they did 5 years ago

If you go fiberglass Karl Westcott’s do work very well. But they are still fiberglass

when I did my 31 Roadster P/U about 5 years ago, I bought fenders like OldBluoval suggests. Steel rear, fit like a glove, and Fiberglass fronts. They also fit very well especially at the splash aprons. I don't have metal working skills, so this was the best way around the tree.
