After researching all the forums for early fenders I still need some help with the fenders that were on my 54. I believe they are original to the car, need some help confirming wheter they are the og ones or not.
Is the weld nut correct on 54 fenders?

Yeap those are correct...early weld nut, which is most likely found through out your 1954 where the fenders mount up to on the front clip and rear as well..etc....Pronounced flare... You have a pair of them.. nice brotha..Headlight bucket rounded..smooth...good to go.. Conduit Tube, single drain hole..Definitely OG
