    Does anyone have, or can you direct me to, a rear driver's side fender skirt for a 1966 Electra 225 4 door HT?

    I am assuming that the rear fender skirts are all the same for the Electra series. Do either the Wildcat or Le Sabre skirts fit the Electras too?

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the response Joe. Let me know if you come up with anything. I don't mind a little body work and painting for the located fender skirt but I really want one that the chrome is OK on.

    I got a skirt recently that is pretty banged up (which I can fix) but the supposed "good condition" chrome is not even close to being good.

    I sent the piece of to Paul's Chrome Plating for an estimate and it came back with an estimate close to $ 600.00. That did include repainting the black stripes (for about $ 200.00), but still a $ 100.00 for the fender skirt, another $ 100 to straighten, repair and paint, and $ 400 for the rechroming is just way too much.

    I am hoping to find something that will not need the body work or chroming. I know this will not be cheap but it can't approach the $ 600.00.

    I know this is a lot to hope for, but the car is the med gold color and if I could find a good original (to match the good original state of the car) that would be great.

    Thanks for you kind help.

    Robert
