    Hot Rod Truck without Fenders Legal in PA?

    I'm wondering if the Hot Rod Truck can be built without fenders and be legal in PA? Any one know?

    Don't know about PA but would caution you to look for mud flap rules in your vehicle code. That's the way some states get you for being fenderless.

    From the PA Motor Vehicle Code (https://codes.findlaw.com)

    Pennsylvania Statutes Title 75 Pa.C.S.A. Vehicles § 4702. Requirement for periodic inspection of vehicles

    (c) Safety inspection criteria for street rods.--The department, after consultation with the National Street Rod Association and other interested groups, shall prescribe special inspection criteria for vehicles registered as street rods.  Vehicles registered as street rods will not be required to be equipped with bumpers, fenders or engine coverage as originally manufactured.  If the hood, top and sides, or both, are removed from the vehicle, the engine fan must be enclosed with a shroud designed to protect the fan from accidental contact from the outside.
