I really appreciate the suggestions. This is a great forum, and I enjoy checking out all of the modifications.
If a local fabricator is going to make them,they probably won't want a digital file.
That would be used for computer aided manufacturing on a 5-axis milling machine using a billet of material.
A tin knocker would just need some time with you car.They'd do a heavy wire space frame,then hammer, wheel,and planish panels to fit the frame,spot-welding,then welding/brazing, fitting,grinding,fitting,prime,seal,paint.
They'd also have to design and fabricate an attachment interface which would involve the VX.
A full-scale mockup of the skirts would be the most useful thing a fabricator would see.
You're looking at an enormous expense for something that will never pay for itself.
