1936-40 Teardrop Skirts installation?
Just received a set of the steel 1936-40 teardrop skirts for my 38.
There were no instructions provided and I am at a loss as how they install. There is a small arm at the leading bottom edge, a lever up the center, and a small plate with a wing nut at the rear…. As always, thank you in advance! Steve |

Leave them off. The car will look better. Just my 2˘.

Lawson is correct. If a Ford accessory just maybe, but aftermarket definitely not.
You’ll have to decide before you install, because they’ll mess up your paint job.

Original 37 fender skirts are larger than 38/39 ones.

I got a nice set for my 40.
Was a pain in the ass to install. Took a few pictures with the skirts on, And then put them back in the garage attic |
