A "high boy" is a fenderless roadster or coupe. Usually a model A, 32 ford or a 33-34 ford. So you can't have a high boy with fenders unless I have it wrong........[S

Yep, a high boy is fenderless with the body sitting up on the frame (not channeled).

Yep, highboy = no fenders. IFS isn't cool on anything that didn't come with it (IMO).

IFS isn't cool on anything that didn't come with it (IMO).

I'm trying like hell to build a cool IFS set-up on Roofus. I think I can pull it off OK.

The guys are right, a highboy has no fenders. With fenders it is simply a fully fendered hot rod. I think IFS is ok on a car with fenders because it is somewhat hidden, but personally I don't like ANY ifs on a car with no fenders. Even if it is a hightech front end with lots of polished and chromed parts it still looks wrong to me. (my apologies to those who have em, but that is just my opinion........and you know what they say about opinions )

I've never really been a Highboy fan myself, that doesn't mean I haven't seen a few I like!

 

[moparcowboy]

Need fenders with IFS!

Whoops, voted before reading the post. Subtract one from the "cool" category.

Anything that didn't come with IFS should not have IFS, especially fenderless and highboys are FENDERLESS.

But, if you think it is cool build it, why should we care what others think anyway. [S

Thanks for the replies. Guess I should really get my terminology right. I am going to build a "full fender rod" and the body wont be channelled because of our stupid ride height/ seatbelt location rulings. If they do not comply it doesnt meet roadworthy standard= big trouble with the 5-0
