I guess the point i am trying to make is , what is the big deal if you
build a vintage race car and have fiberglass fenders that are stock in
appearance. In most cases they are cheaper , easier to repair and they
are more attainable than steel ,and no rust repairs .So what if they are
a couple pounds lighter . speaking for just one old fat guy ,i would
rather spend the bucks on extra brewskis for saturday night . I wonder how
much difference a coors makes in the weight ratio between glass and steel.
As far as the flares go , i say that , it the car had them when it was in
its period correct mode , i think it is 1972 for svra ,but not sure on
this, let the guy run . Lets keep the damn cost down with all this trick
motor , trans and rear crap . I do know for a fact about that aspect , been
their in 1967 and ran these cars and nobody had all this trick motor stuff
and ford rears . They did not fiberglass fenders either but , i still say
that in vintage as long as they LOOK stock why not. And what,s a healey guy
care what a tr guy does anyway . maybe after we are done with the the mg
guys ,................ o, never mind.
