Does anyone have a "better way" to fasten flush mounted fender skirts to a '55 that has never had them before?

Better than what?  I know Tee-Bird prods sells full kits with the mounting brackets that go onto the body as well as the skirts, etc.  I havent used the kits, though, since i dont have skirts (neither does my car...ba-dum-dum)

Hello Ron! I believe there are 2 different mounting kits for these depending on if they are original Ford or aftermarket.There was a listing on Ebay for a "pair" but the method of mounting was different on each one.Not really a "pair".

             "Mounting Skirts"    What has this conversation degenterated into?

Thanks, I know they have kits and I may even have one hidden around here someplace just thought someone would have come up with a different idea using something unrelated. Remember when I was sixteen glued razor blades to inside lower lip of skirts on my Dad's '54 Ford to keep them from being stolen...only saw bloody finger prints once. If I tried that today...wonder how many years I would be sent to prison.Wink

Thanks for the help now I'll go look in garage for brackets.

Ron, I don't know if this will help because I have the long "cruiser skirts". After almost having

one come completle off going down the highway I decided I needed a better way to hold them

than the "plier type" clamp so I use small "C" screw clamps that I got at a local hardware store

and just clamped them down  in a couple of places. Its been a couple of years and no problem

and I just check every so often to make sure theyre still tight. Just hope I don't have a flat.

Good Luck

Yea, That is what I'm looking for...maybe something like that or how about those little aluminum window screw down slider locks. I'll try and come up with something today, Thanks
