Excess? What excess?

Cruiser skirts - There's the excess!

Removal done!

I had Paul Kravchak (K and S) remove the continental kit off mine years ago. He also removed the door posts and rear side widows - making it a 2-door hardtop! (o.k. - it's a custom! and still one of my favorites)

I like the model just as it was built. A reflection of the times when I grew up.

J.D. I had a 58 Impala with a continental kit, skirts and dual antennas.

The tri fives and 58 lent themselves well to the kits IMO.

I did the same thing - except for the windows
