Problem is holding the skirts in place while holding the brackets in place to mark location to drill holes!! When the skirts are installed there is no way to see where the brackets need to be. The skirt should fit tight against the body once installed. I wudnt have a problem with trial and error but this car is fresh out of the paint shop. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Dobie, I watched that video and I have to tell ya, mine mount nothing like that. Now mine are factory original so aftermarket skirts may be different.

Found this on YouTube. It shows mounting skirts on a '57 Scrub. The skirts are aftermarket but they all mount similarly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzMlNDdeDrw

I can't be of any help, except to suggest you try over on the Ford Barn. Lots of experience there, too.

This is all I could find on the web that even comes close to addressing the question: "The skirt attached by a “hook” to the lower lip of the wheel well opening and a means to connect to a front and rear clip on the lower edge of the wheel well opening. The Factory style used pins (or pegs) to sit into front and rear clips whereas Aftermarket Skirts (usually Foxcraft) had clips that extended into slits in the skirt itself. Each skirt also had a weather strip or gasket that sat between the skirt and the wheel well."

Dobie - Thanks for the reply. He actually has the brackets but needs guidance on where they mount on the car.
