The rear fender support rods that go behind the tires are caked with asphalt and mud... I cleaned one and noticed it was in great shape, therefore left the others alone.

Since it was new there is no telling what has been done unless you can establish an owners trail. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 695 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 695 | When I pulled the front fenders off my '59, I noticed this undercoating all inside and on the back of my headlight buckets.
To get to some of the bolts to remove the fender, I had to gouge and scrape away this hardened tar mixture... but the bolts were shiney as new underneath... cool.
