If the rear is lower than the front - skirts

If the front is lower than the rear - no skirts

Thanks Mick great point !

 

That's the rule and we're stickin to it.

 

The rule I grew up with was "real customs don't have rear tires." That said I think part of the decision should be based on the theme you are using for the build. I built my 48 Ford to be a 50s era custom, the type I would have had in high school if I could have afford one. Consequently I wanted to use many of the accessories that were common for that time period.
I also feel that skirts give a car a smooth flow from front to back. Your eye follows the flow of the car rather then stopping at each wheel.

 

Well...…..mine is chopped , but you asked for cars with skirts . I like mine best without , but many people like it better with .

 

Is that what gave the idea to skirt the front of that Lincoln?

 

This WAS mine wish is still was.

When I was 16 I owned a 47 Ford coupe that came with skirts when I bought it and didn't realize they looked like shit. Had a 46 Ford convertible for many years and skirts were the last thing I'd put on it. The only skirts I like are short ones worn by good looking ladies. Go to post #6 and see how good that 46 convertible looks without skirts. Just my opinion. Your entitled to yours.

As with anything else, it's a matter of opinion and you know the old saying about opinions.

 

I'm a fan of the fender skirt too

 

I like skirts and chromed glove box doors .

 

Short door or long door? Nose up? We need to know!! Haha! Either way nose down no skirt, nose up skirt is OK but not necessary. I have one of each haha!

 

Usually I don’t like skirts but occasionally I think they are beautiful and I don’t even know why. Just fell in love with this picture.

 

Local beauty…it’s lower in the back!
