My particular car is not that 'late' in terms of preparation - I went back to 
the stock knock-off wheels long ago for vintage, and never flaired the 
fenders.

I didn't mean (nor say) that my car was a current or even 1979 regs racer - 
it is a Twincam, and much earlier than that. I was just using my onw example

years old.
