55 Fargo Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 I wonder which Ontario was established first? By the way Mack your skirts look dirty....very,very dirty.mmmmh I like em:eek: Well, Ontario is a province approaching 14 million residents, is Canada's most populated province, with 4 major cities, Toronto 5 million approx, Ottawa 1.2 million, Hamilton, and Windsor Across the river from Detroit. It has a history of about 350 years, and was part of Canada settled first along with Quebec, earlier named Upper and Lower Canada......... Quote
richards47deluxe Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Hey Mackster, I'm down for that. Put 2" lowering blocks on my 4 door sedan, bought a pair of on top of the fender skirts that will make it look even lower. Maybe this weekend will swap out the front springs with some I bought on this forum (gotta love this forum)!!! Will take pics when installed. Re-wired everything, soooooo easy. Horn now works like it should, thank everybody for your help. Dash is fully functional as original. Don't shine on the outside but I LIKE IT!!! Quote

Cpt.Fred Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 the skirts look nice! i wish it would be easier to get good looking skirts for the P10, the fender form is a difficult one to deal with... richard, please post a picture of your 47! i would like to see your skirt solution as well! Quote

It is my understanding that for most of the years in the 1930s when fender skirts were available that the only difference between those for Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler was the decorative medallion. Maybe you can widen your search to include those cars that were more likely to be optioned out that a lowly Plymouth. Quote

Maybe you can widen your search to include those cars that were more likely to be optioned out that a lowly Plymouth. my problem is that i think most of the available skirts, bubble ones or others, do not really fit the side line of the rear fender in an elegant way. the P10/P11 rear fenders take quite a sharp downward turn at the end, not as smooth as the models before them. plus the rear end is a bit higher than the runningboard level, making it even more difficult in my eyes. i am experimenting with different shapes here (see pics above), but i just think it is not an easy bolt on operation but requires more work and thought than i imagined before. just my 2 cents... and sorry, back to topic. this was about fog lights, not skirts...

mackster Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Posted October 9, 2010 skirts are welcome here too! i will be putting mines up tomorrow to do some mounting and fitting...see you folks tomorrow! Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 MMMMMMMMMM Skirts!! Nice to see you more than casual Mack...you were gone for a while. Quote
mackster Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Posted October 9, 2010 MMMMMMMMMM Skirts!! Nice to see you more than casual Mack...you were gone for a while. Thanks Frankie! I was MIA for a few months building o.t. cars...a VW bug and a nissan sentra...something to keep me busy and help me gather funds for this two cars! the plymouth is going first then back on the desoto!

richards47deluxe Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Here are a couple of pictures of my '47 4 door Sedan with and without. what do you think. with, or without. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Hmmmm.......can't tell much from the "with" picture.....got a better shot?.....edit.... I thought you were talking about the fog lites rather than the skirts. I guess this comment probably didn't make good sense. Not sure I've seen a set of skirts shaped just like those.....are they for a Plymouth? Edited October 11, 2010 by BobT-47P15 Quote
mackster Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Posted October 10, 2010 Here are a couple of pictures of my '47 4 door Sedan with and without. what do you think. with, or without. i like it with the skirts! those are some unique skirts...i wonder if they are metal? they look good though! Quote
mackster Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Posted October 10, 2010 I got this compass from the HAMB. Its an original early GPS prototype. i need more parts for the plymouth! i got the four rims from a fellow P15-D24 forum. they are off the get straighten and powder coated it! Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 richard, i like it with the skirts, although they're having a very special form. i love the condition your car is in, patina is great! something one cannot fake... nice compass! i'm using this model: has to be refilled, though. i downloaded a great manual how to restore them from someone here on the board, if anyone needs it send me an email!

greg g Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Fred, you can send the files in PDF form to GTK and he can put your information in the download section of the website. did you use mineral oil or glycerin??? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Here are a couple of pictures of my '47 4 door Sedan with and without. what do you think. with, or without. those appear to be overlay style skirts that fit flush to the body metal..is this correct...? If so, how proud is the skirt in relation to the body metal..not fond of overlays in general but these look good on the P15..I have a set of the "fiberglass" style that are inserted into the opening of the wheel well and fixed in place by the formed "U" channel built into the skirt..they are locked by two screws.. Quote
richards47deluxe Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 The skirts are made out of metal and sit on the fender. I bought them from a guy in Fremont who had a '47 Plymouth Coupe with an expensive paint job. They attach very nicely with a draw bar at the top with each end having slots for mounting hardware, which I have to make. I have thought of trying the fiberglass ones Tim mentioned and if I find a good deal on a pair, I might. Cpt. Fred, I agree with you on the patina. You should see my '47 coupe, same paint condition but a little more coverage. Thanks All. Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 greg: sure, i can upload the files! i don't know who it was, but they came from this board... will search in my "to do" folder on the PC and then i will turn them into pdf - that is, if i am able to. i have to say, though, i did not already restore the compass. like i wrote, it has still to be done. but i thing there was something about glycerine in the file? wait untill tomorrow, i'll find it! richard: you're right: i should see your coupe... post pics! i'm sure i'll like what i see! good night all... best, fred Quote
richards47deluxe Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Fred, check out my '47 coupe at my website: www.fatfenders.net just started it and will be posting more pics later. Quote
mackster Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Posted October 11, 2010 Well my compass is much smaller than yours! it is a fun little thing to have there...it doesnt really do much. but I like it! I might move it to the center bar like yours Cpt. I like how it looks there.. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Richard, it looks like it's mostly all there. Should be able to rejuvenate it with some doing. Nice visor and spotlight. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Mack......I think those compasses look good on the center post....... Just use one of the screws already there. Quote
richards47deluxe Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks Bob. the picture shows where it was at when I bought it in the hills. Motor being rebuilt. So in the meantime, working on the sedan. Quote
