Fender cover
What to use for a fender cover when working on the Model A. The towel slides off & so do the tools. Is there something made for the Model A ??

Re: Fender cover
Snyder's has a cover as does MARC but the MARC one tends to slide off also. I hold it on with magnets.

Re: Fender cover
California Car Cover sells fender covers (https://www.calcarcover.com/search/Fender%20cover)
I think you can get one with a Ford Logo if that is important to you. David Serrano |

Re: Fender cover
I use a yoga mat. Stays in place and when not in use, rolls up.

Re: Fender cover
I use a nice Used bath towel, held in place by two rare earth magnets.
I really like it.

Re: Fender cover
The Snyder mat works pretty good. It has holes cut into it to go around the headlight bars and hold it in place. It also has slots marked on it that you can cut if you have fender mounted spares. Works great and is meant specifically for the A.

Re: Fender cover
I use fender blankets. Sure they may slip, but I just put back in place. https://www.sears.com/globe-house-pr...SPM13420311719

Re: Fender cover
I saw that and was just showing it as a sample of what I use. I got mine from the service that washed our shop rags.

Re: Fender cover
About a hundred years ago I bought a Craftsman cover from Sears. It has magnets to keep it in place. Works great, wish I had another one. I also have a couple of the ones that are "made for a Model A", but they don't work very well and keep falling off, despite the fact that they wrap around the headlight bar.
