    I am in the process of doing some rust repairs and a full frame swap on my 71 skylark. As you can see by the attached pic the inner skirt on Drivers side is fairly well rotted away at the front section. I want to fabricate the missing section up so as to look original, but i need some dimensions, to get started. Hoping someone on here can measure theirs up for me as per the rough drawing attached Inner skirt.jpg Skirt dimensions2.jpeg

    Much easier to just buy the patch panel, they work very well

    I've never shipped to Aus but I've got plenty of Driver sides, I would be willing to cut one off and get one to you

    Ok, thanks, that would be an easier option I agree ...... the section marked for cut off would weigh about 4lb and would be $US 58.15 .... ($AU about $90) using their Priority Mail International® shipping calculator . Max. length of package to be no greater than 42". (Max length "plus girth combined" not to exceed 79") using USPS priority international. I can pay with Paypal if that is OK, but as you can see AU dollar is crap ATM, so will depend on the total of price + shipping. pls let me know

    Long as I get $75 for the part, only reason being I'll be destroying a good inner skirt, which I'm fine with doing but would need full value.
