Re: 1967 buick special wagon
With the front and rear of the wagon looking so aggressive, the sides between the tires look so skinny. So I flipped the bracket that mounts the side skirt, spaced it out with 1.5 x 3 inch rectangular steel spacers and pushed the skirts out 5 inches in total.

Re: 1967 buick special wagon
With the bracket flipped and the 3 inch spacers, the skirts moved out about 5 inches. Now I have to figure out how to best fill the space between the body line at the bottom of the doors and the skirts.

Re: 1967 buick special wagon
Using cardboard templates to figure out the filler panels for the side skirts. I painted it white for better visual reference.

Re: 1967 buick special wagon
I started working on making wedges for the bottoms of the doors.

Re: 1967 buick special wagon
I started mocking up the driver's side when my dad's friend walked into the shop and we were discussing the design. I told him it wouldn't work as a single piece, and mocked it up to show him. Turns out, I was wrong. It totally works as one piece. I'll just need to sweep the leading edges of the extensions back just a little. So, Version 2.0. They'll be one piece.
