Projects Recreating the jesse lopez coupe

That's money well spent, in my estimation...rolling/wheeling those skirts isn't even within a distant (honest) view of my sheet metal skills...

Does he have a fender mounted on a body, to verify the curvature? That would be my only concern.

 

Jimmy and Jerry..let me know if you want a template..i'll send you one as christmas gift.!

-palle

 

You found that solution pretty quick! I agree, the world is a much smaller place than it used to be!

 

OK, just so's we understand this correctly, with all the OTHER things you are, Palle, your'e also SANTA??? PM with my address sent. Which BTW, you should already have! Iv'e been good.

 

Hoho! Skirts from Santa? Lol

 

Thank you Palle! PM Sent!

I don't think I would have waited long enough to take a picture before opening the box.

 

I am curious to here your thoughts on the agape skirts i have seen a set for a mopar and they were not even close to originals.

 

OK everybody, My intent is not to see how long you guys can twist in the wind. I had breakfast with somebody that I haven't seen for years and it went waay too long. I apologize.

NOW, THESE SKIRTS, they are beautiful.

Great score Jerry. Parts in the kitchen, you're officially out of control!

 

Well Jim, you unwittingly revealed how short sighted you are. Youv'e completely missed the fact that they could be bitchin' Christmas serving platters.

Shame on you, you need to be more careful.

 

Hahaha! Just got back from our neighborhood Xmas party, could've used those platters! Good thinking Jer, you're way ahead of me!

 

Let's see how these things fit.

 

were did you find them? they are repoped? please send me the info thanks

 

awsome.

 

Agape Auto Parts

 

ya got it thanks Rik save me a singed book at GRNS will ya

 

I put you on the list for one.

 

Hey jer,

Given the fenders & the skirts are still unpainted, ya could ''tweek'' both for a dead-nuts fit PRIOR to goin to paint I'd rebolt the fenders to the vehicle, and install the skirts, then adjust gaps with a 4 ton porta-power or bfh & block of wood. Ya may well hafta rearch the skirts over some pipe or a dolly for a flush fit.

Man, at $225 I don't know how he's makin money- those look sexy to me!

good luck

OK, I just got in since the AM post. Thanks for the help Rik. Remember that the fenders are going to be welded to the body. The front fit was solved by moving the front portion of the fender out. That took up that gap. That can be done at the positioning of the fender on the attachment area. The rear area looks very doable. Remember the template from Palle is on it's way. I'll have to revisit all this at that time. Hopefully everything is close enough. Oh, the skirts are $275.00.

 

Wow! Jer, you scored with those. They look like they fit pretty nice. A little tweaking and you are good to go!

 

This is an interesting thread.Are all the rust issues fixed at this point?
I will watch this one!

 

275 isnt bad at all.... BUT you still have to remember that they are not an original item so there is the huge price difference... The more original parts, the more valuble it is.

275 is way worth it.... nice score

 

I just got caught up to date. After seeing how Junior's car turned out I can't wait to see this one. Keep up the good work!

 

Let's see how much trouble we can get into with these, while we wait for Palle's templates.
