Should I Care About Skirt Cuts?
My skirts came from another Speedster. They have previous cut outs on them. See picture. I suspect these will be covered when I put the flat wood Speedster body and firewall on?

Re: Should I Care About Skirt Cuts?
Since you are building a speedster, it doesn't need to be authentic. I would say, if you can get them to stay in place and the cuts don't show from the outside, Go for it. If they show, you can weld some sheet metal in place and finish it to match.

Re: Should I Care About Skirt Cuts?
are you planning on putting a top access cover where the battery goes? My speedster doesn't have one(I didn't build car), so the battery is a pain to get to from underneath.
