Cruisin' on my Bluebird
There have been discussions on skirt guard lacing, just gonna add my 2 cents on the subject. Looking at pictures and coming to my own conclusions I have come up with the design I posted pics of in Gene's thread. I gave it a try with rings attached to the holes in the fender on my Huffman. I know not all fenders have hole as the Elgin/Columbia fenders just have tabs or ears. All I did was start at the axles with 2 seperate strings and threaded the strings thru every other ring on the fender and worked my way back down to the axle. I experimented adding amber shellac to the finished lacing to add an "aged" look. Really all that is needed is some time and much patience to lace these, it took 2 tries on the non-drive side because you get to the end an realize you missed a loop. Good luck and happy lacing.
