    LTB - Whale Fender Skirts

    ** Adorns fire suit **

    If anyone happens to stumble across a set of aftermarket fender skirts for a whale, any color, let me know.

    I feel like causing a ruckus within the Panther community again.

    If you had the hardware from another set of fender skirts, you can have them made at a sheet metal fabrication shop. IF you are serious !

      And he's gonna pay dearly for them, and most likely not be 100% happy with how they come out. Oh and he'll be without his car for a while too, cause that stuff will need to be custom fitted, and it's not their only project so they'll get to it on their own schedule, not on his.

        I have never seen whale skirts. This will be interesting.

          The company that used to make them was Roman Chariot Customs, now Roman Empire Enterprises, based out of Cleveland, Ohio. I just spoke with the owner today and he has no stock nor the molds anymore...

          For inquiring minds, this is what they look like:

            I was going to suggest getting one of those fake spare tire covers like that car in the pic you posted has. I don't know if you would be interested in something like that. I saw one on a whale MGM a little over a year ago, although it was slightly different style compared to he one on the car in your pic.
            The one on the car you posted:

                Could always try to fabricate using body filler on a cardboard cutout, shape and repeat, and work it. before committing to a metal fab. That was advice received from a fabricator.

                  Of course I have thought about attempting my own, but it would still probably be cheapest all said and done if someone happened to stumble upon a used set of these.
