Originally posted by Repiks View PostThere won't be any fenders, but whatever wheels we decide on will be much closer to the stock body. Like a lot of rods, we decided to go fenderless. Keep in mind, the current rear wheels are stock IROC wheels mounted backwards to fit.
"Real" (no offense, just used to define the usual rods) rods can pull off the fenderless look, because for them the fenders are originally parts that are ATTACHED to the body and are simply taken off for this / cut off.
With a newer style body like this, that is not possible. At the moment it just looks like... there was a random axle with random wheels lying around and you placed a bare shell on it, to save some space in storage. :/ Quite awkward, imho.
If you want the fenderless look, maybe weld the rear fenders closed with just a small opening for the axle?

I never said it was. I'm just giving constructive criticism.

Appreiciate your criticism man.
Any sort of metal work will be easy. It has to have some relief for the axle to have up and down travel. But once the final wheels are on, John will do what he thinks is best.03' Lightning w/ Bolt-Ons | KLR 650 | Duece.

This is so awesome. I'm loving the way the '02 body looks in a rat configuration especially the ass end. I just think it looks cool especially with the longer wheel base. Yeah the rear wheel set up looks a bit awkard since there is space to see the wheel wells but it will look rad with wheels tigher against the body like you guys have planned. Plus it's way to early to be critisizing and the work looks legit. Seeing what he's done so far, I have faith John will create something ridiculously dope
