Not quite enough. Need to flat'n the top of the fenders. This will allow the car to reach terminal velocity!

Its not going to be trailered, so we don't have to worry about easily replaceable front fenders

Looking forward to seeing my old car back on the track again, that's where it always belonged.
Ed... I enjoyed your car for 7 years (I bought it from Bruce back in 2000) including many days on track. I never should have sold it, but wanted to try something newer. I was sad to see it get damaged so soon after selling, but am happy to see it returning to life. Maybe DrK will sign up for an enduro and let all the former owners take turns driving?

i find myself wondering more and more why this thread is in the technical discussions forum. it is now at 33 pages and counting, and i'm hard pressed to recall a technical post as of yet. perhaps it would be more appropriately located in miscellaneous discussions, or even the parts wanted forum.

I like that idea. The original owner (me) gets to drive it the way I did for 10 years and lots of days at Summit, the Glen, Lime Rock, MidO, and even the old Bridgehampton before it closed for good.
