sideskirts

[Roy]

Hi,

at this moment I am restoring the sideskirts. There is a lot of work on it, years havent been good to them. With all our speedbumps the underside has bad spots, which I now noticed are repaired badly with fill up and new paint.

So now they're gonna be sandblasted, but than with a thin plastic grain in stead of sand in order not to blast right through.
Than they are going to put the skirts back in it's original shape without the filler and than paint them in the right color.

gonna cost me, but it has to look like new ones again and I hate filled pieces which show cracks within some time.

now its done properly.

gonna post some before/after pics next week, when the jobs done

Blasting can warp the crap out of thin metal make sure they know what they are doing.

Yep I know, as told they are going to use a real soft kind of plastic for it, which is also being used on plastic bumpers and stuff.

What's a side skirt?

I believe they are talking about our side sill that go over our exhuast. I just did mine a month ago.

People in europe call things differently from us. Its not there fault

oh I'm sorry a sideskirt is what you guys call sills...it sounded american, so I thought this didn't need any translation!

Blasting alum sills can be tricky. I personally wouldn't let them, I had mine chemically stripped. I didn't wanna risk it

Good luck i cant wait to see how they will come out and compare Before and after

That's what I'm thinking. Blast stripping a plastic bumper cover and blasting thin aluminum do not use the same equipment.

I'm going there this evening and tell them how I (you guys) feel about this and see what they think. I trust these guys big time, so I'm not really afraid something bad will happen.

Side skirt in the US is a skirt that covers the rear wheel...

Thats some funny stuff

 

[Roy]

don't see no pictures, but I had to laugh..

 

[slysnake]

I actually didn't know that either mopar boy. My first thought was a side splitter. But we're all on the same page now.

Google 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury and you will see an attached 8" piece to the rear wheel wells. The pic I posted must be blocked from your country.

I was trying to help Roy out.....grammar police are watching you know....

 

[Roy]

Do you guys have putten some of this clear stickers on after the repaint, they are there now...
If yes, does the dodge dealer provides them?

Most probably my grammar wasn't 100% ok again, but I dare you to try and post some stuff on a Dutch forum...

 

[eucharistos]

all in good fun roy, and yes clearly monolingual here

i always like viper guys posting from all over the globe, like having buds (friends) world wide

we call the clear stuff "clear bra" among other things - get the best quality you can if you use it, as some have had it turn yellow from the heat

 

[DrumrBoy]

Absolutely. My joke about the grammar police was related to another thread. We totally understood what you were saying, and in fact you said it better than most of us mono-lingual types!

I dont know what thread you are talking about, but I have a bad feeling one of my posts must be involved!
