These were sold through Partswerks in Chicago back when. JayMiksell, the owner, was quite a character and I'll leave it at that. We had a good relationship, but many others had issues with him. Long gone, but nice to see his idea's still around. I recall him selling the liners as well. I wonder whatever happened to his wife Kathy? |

I gave a set to Jim Hoyland to check the fit. I haven't heard anything back yet. I do have another set I can send out if someone has some time to check the fit on these. PM me. -mark I'm going to test fit the liners this coming weekend. Sorry for the delay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I have made up 15 sets in black and I'm checking the fit. I'll be playing more tomorrow. From what I can see there may be a slight modification to the end product for the rears to fit a little better. Jim has been vert helpfull in helping to redesign this product.
The good news is that these will be able to be modified to fit any shap fender flares. The catch is that the end user will have to cut the patern and pop rivet the adaptation custom for the car. More to follow tomorrow. |

The fronts were no problem fitting, they almost don't need the clips.
The rears were another story. The pattern from what I could tell needed to be longer to go behind the control are mount (and follow the top section where the fender and body meet. Or it needed to be wider to cover the gap between the fenders to the body. I chose to plat with the latter. I figured that if you could keep crap from being built up on the mount, it would hurt, so why not kill 2 birds and keep it clean (er). I cut a piece to mount and cover this, and had an idea. I could create a deformation using the mounting rivets that would cover it nicely and give some clearance. I need to road test it, but looks like it should work. Attached thumbnail(s) |
