Decided to have copies of my fender skirts fabricated at our local sheet metal shop. I had managed to beat most of the dents and creases out of the driver side parts but the ones for the opposite side were significantly more pitted and abused. Figured if I needed to have one side rebuilt, might as well throw down and pay for the other side to match.



Shots showing test fitting with temporary bolts done backwards again to facilitate easier installation and removal.



Parts hanging in my Texas paint booth since the kids are at Grandma's house. Its been averaging 102-109F here for the past three weeks with no rain in sight. Only good thing to say for the dry heat is its good for painting. Little bugs that stick to the paint add texture and keeps with the consistency of my other outdoor painting.
