The question is if commercial fender flares would make it easier to construct the wheel skirts or not?
How sharp can the rear and top edges be to not have a huge effect on aerodynamics?
The fender flares wouldn't stick out far enough at the bottom so they wouldnt help me there. I could make the skirt somewhat smaller without them by having most of the curve in the large gap around the wheel, inside and not outside the arch.
I've never heat bent plastic, done sheet metal work besides banging dents out or done any fiberglass work but i'd learn whater i had too to build it. The way i see it i think it would have to be made from plastic plus a frame, thick sheet metal or fiberglass.
Because they articulate the front skirts have to be strong and line up good with the body. I plan on extending it all they down to cover the whole rim, maybe it will extend lower than the side skirt im going to be adding. I decided to either have side skirts or moon caps but the gap around the tire is pretty big so I thiink i should go with the former.
