Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could make some side skirts such as the ones in the link below and in the photo at the bottom of my post?

I really, really like these sideskirts, and I want to attempt to make some myself. I think they're Trial sideskirts, but I'm not sure.

What I was thinking was that I could mask off the side of the car with aluminum foil and masking tape, and then lay a couple layers of fiberglass on the bottom side of the car so that it wraps around the bottom. Once that dried, I could mold some chicken wire in the rough shape of those sideskirts, attach it to the car somehow(probably duct tape it in places at the top, and have the bottom rest on some pieces of stacked up 2x4s or something) and then cover the wire in tape and lay a couple layers of fiberglass over that, and then attach both main parts together securely once the fiberglass dried. Then I'd just use bondo to finish it up.

To all you fiberglass experts...*cough* Neverstop *cough* Doggy *cough* ...am I on the right track, should I do something differently, or should I just not even try because this would be way too hard? biggrin.gif

Anyway, here's what I'm talking about:

coomer, honestly it would probably be easier for me to pick you up a set. you know I would do it for ya wink.gif

as for making them, I've heard that the pro's use foam. like some spray foam to contour to the side, and then sand it down to shape.

Ghost_dog. Where or with who would you be able to get the skirts from. I've been trying to get them for about a year now, but they're expensive.

I want to get the skirts and front bumper.
