Do these skirts look funky?

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!

I like it without the skirts and those are just wrong

 

They look like 49-52 Dodge/Plymouth skirts to me.

 

Not good, but nice car.

 

Terrible!

 

I appreciate that you are going for a custom look and its pretty obvious already which way the votes are running and my vote is the same.

Now I'd like to give you another line of thought because here is a '53 New Yorker in the exact same body style and color scheme that is a factory Mexican Road Racer and it has black walls and black wheels and great stance sitting a little low in the front because it has heavy duty factory springs from an Imperial limosine at all four corners. So, just for your consideration, take a look at this NYer Pan Am.....

 

Trim the top or sell the skirts.
Easy answer.

 

Ok so here's a quicky photoshop. My eye wants to make the bottom line of the skirt horizontal with the bottom of the car, but the fender angles up, making it difficult.



I like the New Yorker, but this car is no thoroughbred, good cruiser tho, so I want to just make a real mild custom.

 

Yes..The skirts look funky. Car looks better without those skirts.. Try again..

 

yeah hate to say it but definitely look better without. nice try though! car looks great without them actually but id scrap the skirts. no hard feelings

 

I dont much care for skirts[on cars] anyway,and those dont fit right.Nice car though!

 

Ok I'll just sell em, no reason to shine a turd.

There's even a pair on EBAY

Holy! That looks like one of those 3M stickies pasted on an otherwise beautiful car. Did the seller CLAIM they'd fit yours? If so, go to his house (late night) and poison his dog. That'll show him.

(Joking, of course. The DOG didn't misrepresent these skirts, but SOMEbody apparently did!)

 

buy some cruiser skirts..

 

Voorhees, NOTHING wrong with your CAR, though, man! Sweet!!!

 

Looks like they would look at home on a 78 LTD.

 

That Sweet Desoto would look killer with an Original set of Motorwheel Wire Wheels..

 

Looks like a diamond in a goats ass!!!

 

haha. I think the Sara Silverman mustache is the most accurate.

 

I think another option is to take them to a swap meet and trade them for something usefull, cause these skirts look something Like the south end of a north bound horse that has no tail! In other words Butt ewwgly.

This car of yours is waaaaay to cool for something this shoddy!!!

In the second picture it looks as though the skirt would fit much better if it were pushed in more at the bottom, but I'm guessing it is pressed up against the tire. Can you jack it up, remove the wheel and tire and try again to fit it? I'm thinking you have a set of reversed wheels that wont let the skirt fall into place. I could also be full of shit, but that's how it looks to me in the picture.
That car would look great with a nice fitting set of skirts.

 

Kinda like when my wife asks me "do these jeans make my butt look big?"

 

I can build you a set. that will fit right. Call if you are intersted. thanks, Scott 916-338-4327

 

Some longer cruiser skirts might look better on there. Have you seen these two sites before. Might be of some help. Nice Desoto!

That car looks ten times better without them anyway.

 

IMHO that body style looks better with no skirts at all.

 

I second Muttley... i dig it without skirts

 

Feel the same...it looks way cool without skirts. I dig that car...

 

Really????

 

Flush mounted skirts would look good.

 

I laughed a little because Big Jim's is/was in Whitney, Tx.

Just CALL the guy. Even if it was two years ago, you never know where you might get if you talk to him. No reason for people to jump on the seller without talking to them first. Maybe they were a miss-ship or something else.
