As far as the trunk goes, I'll be following the lead of the car as shown in post #28. If my car represented an earlier competition car with the Jones flairs and slab/spat fronts, a la CSX2138 (Lemans Replica) or similar, I would attempt the upper trunk lid integration, but as this is the FIA/USRRC body style, and one of my objectives is complete and easy reversal of the modifications, I'll be going with the individual upper/lower pieces. I agree it would be a cool idea, though.

Hi Allen,
Yep agreement here on the wheels. Very, very nice!
I've seen a pic of an early race car - I'll have to look up its ID - that has a short trunk lid, but different configuration to yours. It's hinged at the bottom and has the handle and a bungey (bungee?) cord at the leading edge. Not sure what use the bungey would be at 150mph though.
Yours is the more practical though as it's easily returned to original config, and authentic too.
Cheers,
Glen
