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.
