my '47.....to skirt, or not to skirt......what do you think?

I picked up a set of fender skirts at the swap meet in Kzoo this weekend, and I am on the fence about them on the car.

What do you think?

 

yes and white walls

 

Oh i like that!!!!

 

I second that steatment.

 

Now that's a bad boy look if I ever saw one! I like it!

 

Yes,with wide whites and maybe lower the rear a little more.

 

I think I'd give the skirts a pass.

Those are nice looking sedans, but they kinda got that "big ass" thing goin' on already. IMHO the skirts only accentuate it.

But it's your car, so roll it the way that makes you happy!

 

I third that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1, looks good!

 

I think they look terrible!!! You should sell them to me!!

J/K

I'd go with the skirts and some lowering as well.

 

I always enjoy a big ass as opposed to a bony butt. Keep 'em.

 

I dig the skirts.. suddenly you've got a custom...

it appears that you already have a "hot rod"

 

rock both! when you feel like rocking the skirts, and when you want to show full whites. but i do think she needs to be in the weeds!

 

I love skirts. Keep em, add the wide whites, and have it so the rear is slightly lower than the front.

 

Looks good to me. I have been thinkin about putting some on my 46.

 

I agree with PurplePearl50,yes and WWWs.......

 

You'r on the right track. Lower it and put some single bar flippers on front.
Nice ride!

 

Oh heck yes!!! That looks great, but like said, it needs WW and a little less altitude in the rear.

 

I agree

 

Ditto.

 

If you do run the skirts, you might also consider finishing it off in classic taildragger style.
i.e.: shortened hood side trim, lowered tailights, (to fender reveal or lower) and shaved deck
(as well as the afore-mentioned WWW's and stance). All of which would look good on your sedan (even without the skirts.)



Oh, and pencil tip pipes!

 

lowered with skirts

 

yes to skirts

 

leave em off

 

thats the look

 

Ya know, I was thinking the same thing. The Tudors are hard to get the correct custom look, but I think it is worth a try.

 

If the car is level or down in the back, then use the skirt's. If it is down in the front then don't.

 

I like the skirts

 

what he said ^^^^^^^^

 

I thought about skirts... once.
