Re: Bobed front fender s
[color=#228b22]Cousin Carey, That was not an uncommon customization back when the cars were daily drivers. Usually the fender was just bobbed smoothly where it would have secured to the running board. I wanted to do it to my TC, with a pointed back to mimic the rear fender, but never had the money and the passion at the same time. Dan Harmer Unbobbed TC # 5122 San Diego A question to those that might know Recently I looked a 48 Mg tc with no running boards And the front fender came to a point Was this how some cars came? Or was it a mod because of say rust? Carey beer Carey.beer@yahoo.com [/color]

Re: Bobed front fender s
My '51 TD has had bobbed fenders and no running boards since sometime in the 1950's. The original owner, Washington Daily News sports writer Dick Lord, was an avid racer and was a regular at Marlboro, Elkhart Lake and other venues until his death in the late 60's. When I acquired the car from his estate in the early 70's' I discovered evidence of a possible reason for the fenders being bobbed: The driver's side fender had been crunched, probably in a track mishap, and he simply cut off and leaded in the worst mangled section at the front, faired in the rear and then cut and faired the passenger fender to match! In case you're wondering about the XK120 rear bumpers and trailer hitch at the rear in one of the photos, when the TD was no longer competitive he used it as a tow car for his Fairthorpe Electron!

Usually the fender was just bobbed smoothly where it would have secured to the running board. I wanted to do it to my TC, with a pointed back to mimic the rear fender, but never had the money and the passion at the same time. Dan Harmer Unbobbed TC # 5122 San Diego A question to those that might know Recently I looked a 48 Mg tc with no running boards And the front fender came to a point Was this how some cars came? Or was it a mod because of say rust? Carey beer Carey.beer@yahoo.comOn Mar 14, 2019, at 9:11 PM, CHARLES HUGHES hughes.c.m@att.net> wrote:

When I acquired the car from his estate in the early 70's' I discovered evidence of a possible reason for the fenders being bobbed: The driver's side fender had been crunched, probably in a track mishap, and he simply cut off and leaded in the worst mangled section at the front, faired in the rear and then cut and faired the passenger fender to match! In case you're wondering about the XK120 rear bumpers and trailer hitch at the rear in one of the photos, when the TD was no longer competitive he used it as a tow car for his Fairthorpe Electron!

Usually the fender was just bobbed smoothly where it would have secured to the running board. I wanted to do it to my TC, with a pointed back to mimic the rear fender, but never had the money and the passion at the same time.

Or was it a mod because of say rust? Carey beer Carey.beer@yahoo.com
