    I know all you guys are at the Nats or wish you were at the Nats,
    but next Saturday July 18th my new dashskirt prototype will debut at the show.

    Here is a pic of the dashskirt.

    It is an answer for FORD early's that are East of the Mississippi.
    The freight on such an item just out to CA or WA kills the cost.
    So VANNY you might just be in luck! That is if no one buys it at the show.
    No frills just straight on dash skirt.

    Thanks for the interest.

    Is this an exact factory duplicate or your own version of a skirt?

    Now Tim

    What happened to your imagination?

    I will tell you this....

    1)The one factory dash skirt that was available locally here in NJ from which to make a mold, sold for an outrageous amount...$300 on EBAY. I could not borrow it in time.

    2) I'm not that good at making molds...Fiberglass Profiles here in town wanted $800 to make the mold 2 years ago. That is my next venture.

    3) Shipping a 6' piece of anything costs $18 East of the Mississippi, west it would cost near $80. You are familiar with shipping costs for long items regardless of weight.

    Just a few things to consider.

    Hey Tim

    Just to answer your question.
    No it is not a factory reproduction.
    It is a plain Jane prototype.
    Suitable for painting, fabric cutting up for a radio and best of all..hiding those wires.

    We will see what the guys say at the Northeast Van Show this Saturday.
    That will dictate how much they will be worth.
    No way near $300 for a mint factory skirt.
