I will soon be tackling making fender skirts for my 1999 Metro. I would think a lot of people would be interested in these. I think I can do a fair job fabricating the skirts, and I did plan to them in fiberglass. The trick is making them so that they can be easily taken off if you need to change a flat tire. One advantage of using fiberglass is that you can keep the outside area smooth and have attaching devices on the back and bottom for just that. I plan to use a couple of vertical metal rods attached to the back that will slide up into the fender well after drilling a couple of holes for these to slide into. On the bottom I planned on having a couple of flat mender plates attached front and rear so that you could have wing nuts underneath keeping it attached. To remove the skirt you simply take off two wing nuts and pull the skirt down. A much easier way than those early 60's cars with skirts. Keep us apprised of your/his progress.
