I was thinking of making some molds this winter of the
side skirts for myself... and a few of you guys
mentioned youd like to have a set..
Anyone interested. They would be finish sanded
& ready for paint for about a hundred
bucks a set plus shipping.

lots of petrolium jelly.
Joe that would be cool if you made some fiberglass side skirts. be sure to do a trail run and post some pics.
maybe you could make molds of the splitter and valance too, then we could buy the whole joes924 body kit.

Ok Ill draw up some drawings to give a better idea of what
i could make. Ill round the edges so they will sit flush against the body
Then there will no ugly seam to fill, unless you want to like i did. 
To secure the side skirt Ill keep it simple. You will have holes bigger than the connector in the outer skin, under this on the back side will be a cross brace for mounting to the body.  Theres all sorts of ways to go here short of making a plate with a bigger hole for mounting you should be able to get a long long drill bit to go thru the outer skin, the cross brace, and body. Then jus do what i did and use a lock nut or cover with a reg. nut & a dab of epoxy to keep it from coming loose . Here you could use super glue though its not vibration proof & itll come loose. Theres more thoughts to be had here on these as Im thinking things I shouldnt
be if its gonna be a true mold.

I would be willing to make at least 5 of them once a design is decided
it would require a using the product as a inner mold building a removable
shell to use as the mold base then having crossing braces inlaid in the fiber glass. Looks like theres an interest I think the ones who spoke up
wanting these are upgrading in a neat way. So what do i have at least 5 interested peoples seems so.  One great winter project huh.

To secure it you could use brakets attached to the pinch weld 3 screws on the ends going it the fender and 3M double sided acrylic tape across the top edge. what ever you do I'm still totally down for a set

Just let me know when and where to send the money, In my opinion your side skirts are some of the best looking ones I have come across.
