here's a test fit, it needs some work. That's 55fanatic in the pic, a long time member of here

edit: yes in the pic it's dropped but not all the way, that's as far as I could go but it sits on the tires rather than tucks anything. It can go lower

A little progress, the fronts are done. This is the rear, it almost clears the tire all the way down. Should be done today. Then repaint on the rear fenders.
