Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone has a suggestion / opinion as to vendors of quality fender skirts.
I prefer steel over fiberglass, any pros or cons of one or the other?
Subject vehicle is a 1941 110 club coupe.
Any photos to share?
Thanks!
Tom

Don't the stainless strips required change with skirts?

After looking at the trim strips, I believe that there is room for them to stay.
Of course, this is dependant on the amount of wheelhouse overlap from the skirts.
Thanks for your reply.
Surely there must be more comments or opinions...

don't assume the trim is the same length with and without skirts. Two of the front fender pieces I believe change with sidemounts, and the edge of running board trim is not the same length as the rocker trim on running board delete cars.

There was a source of 21st series Clipper skirts, but I don't know of one for 19th series. Long shot but check the measurements of 40 Ford skirts

No idea if their repros are steel or fiberglass but Kanter has skirts listed in the 110-120 catalog. If they still carry them maybe they would know for sure if anything else needs to change with the addition.

Big Jims in Texas used to carry repros for Packards too but he seems to have quit and sold his inventory to a place called Fender Skirt Depot. The new company seems more geared toward the popular brands and don't currently list anything for Packard but perhaps they still have some of Big Jims old inventory.
