    Sweet either way, but I like it better without the skirts....
    If it were mine, I would radius the rear wheel openings too....love that look on those short top Fords....
    Either way a real head turner, and winner in my mind...
    Nice rig !!!

    Yes I agree with the few that said drop the rear of the car then roll with the skirts. Either way I like the skirts.

    Hmmm... That photo of your ride near the beach, the one with the skirts on it. Was that you I saw cruise the duece then make the turn back up main street, back in 56? I'm sure I saw that car and you back then, but I thought you had the 4 bar Merc fliipper hub cabs back then.:cool:

    Keep the skirts and go back to cruzin....

  8. A good lookin' shoebox like that looks great with or without skirts. If it were my car, I'd switch off!

    I'm not a big skirt fan on cars but on women oh yeah. Your car looks good either way but I think it's just the style of the car because you can do so much with a shoebox. The car itself in its original form is just plain enough with excellent style undertones that you can do with it what you want and it's hard to go wrong. That's probably why they're so popular.
     
  17. The skirts look good on that car.

  19. Skirts on that car make it look lower, sleeker and faster.

    I vote "Skirts".
