I can never decide if I want the skirts on either, so sometimes I just put one on....
Oooops, a verbal faux pas (sorry, just kidding, but taken out of context it IS hilarious). Please don't be offended; this happens all the time in election years.
The performance-oriented guys in that era (I got my H.S. diploma in '61) never bothered with fender skirts. The "trollers" had the skirts, aftermarket wheels, yadayada, much like today. I'm not a great fan of fender skirts for post-'57 chebbies. For 53-57's, its a judgement call, based on the model of the car (you typically don't see factory skirts on the cheapest model offered)
All that aside: John (if I may call you that) you've created a great model of that car. Period!
