There was a discussion over on HAMB about fenderless street rods and , of course , with 50 states having differing laws it became the usual confusing discussion when it came to legality .

Hey Glen I was disappointed to hear that you are not continuing with your build thread. Isn't it funny how someone wants to share their ideas knowledge and wisdom and get spanked for it by others.
