No worries, everybody knows what's hiding under them skirts from the front end. Love to see a way to attach them without giving up so much wheel/tire space or any exposed fasteners. I'll let you know what I come up with.

I could put tabs that would insert into the body/wheel well at the topof the skirt, which could be the locatators, then need a plan for either side of the bottoms of the skirt.......

I wonder if those magnets would support the skirts at 130? Great idea if they can! If the latch mechanisms were at the ends instead of the top middle, it would open up 1-1.5" of tire space.

I dont even know where to start......
sad that i have to sesrch the depths of the interwebs to find my thread.

ive actually been a busy little beaver, to many details to list, but things are a changing! I have changed so much in the last couple of months, so let me bring everybody up to speed:
sooo.... we now have eletric/hydraulic (volvo pump) power steering, deff one of the coolest things ive done.
its so cool to turn key on , pump fires up, and you can turn the wheels without motor running! When i first did it , i was like " this $hit isnt even gonna work, then i turned the wheel...and began smiling......

Snug as abug

I guess that Volvo pump just feeds a stock steering box? there are some deals that actually
go on the steering shaft.
You going to the Turkey Run, outside chance I may come down, you shouldn't be hard to spot, lol.
