Gotta remove fender skirt to change '67's tire?

[Christopher Hoffman <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It takes less time to remove the fender skirt than it does to type this
response. D^2 described the operation perfectly.

I remove mine just to clean the whitewalls, and it's still a challenge.
There is actually a good portion of the rim still covered even with the
skirt off, and about a third of the whitewall is still behind the wheel
opening. I think the skirt covers more underlying sheetmetal than airspace!

Hope you won the bet!
