fender skirts

[Joshua85]

anyone know about making fender skirts??

i think i want to incorporate them in the next build i make but i'm not quite sure how to go about it.

any ideas?

The fenders I'm trying to fit on my firestone are skirted. They're just really thin sheet metal pop riveted to the fenders. I don't have any pictures but they're made by Kustom Kruzer. I think the Chain Gang web site shows them. Hope this helps.

Took a picture. I would like to make some myself that flow down to the bottom of the fender, but I like these too. Have fun with your project.

Here are the ones I did for mine, maybe kinda extreme but fun. Sheetmetal from Home Depot,traced around arch of fender and make a second line about an inch above the first and cut on that line. Made tabs by cutting every2-3 inches and riveted. Alot of trial and error. Very little room for clearence. Fender brackets in the right places really help stabalize the sides, mine are riveted to the sides. 8) :idea:
