    How long does it take to ship a pair of skirts down there? I'm dying over here. :D

    Beautiful car, makes me want to go find myself a '41.

    I'm not a huge fan of skirts (on cars, that is), but that is one handsome ride, with or without skirts.

    Scotty,
    With regard to calling it a tail dragger...once you get them skirts painted and installed I think you will be right on the money. I vote for not dumping the front. If you do, I don't think tail dragger will apply anymore. You're doing well with what you got! Oh...if anything, I think I am with VooDooBuick, drop the rear just another inch (2.54cm).
    Cheers,
    Michael

    Well everyone skirts are getting prepped and should be on very soon:D
    i have put smaller tyres on the front and slightly lower profile on the rear which has stopped some issues. i have been having with them scrubbing on the rear. and the fronts are not catching the fender any more she is much nicer to drive

    Just the right stance - and the skirts will give it the speedboat look. Nice job!
