Unfortunately at this time Peter has no plans to make a new narrow hip mould but I do plan on pulling moulds from Eddies once we have achieved the correct changes.
Stay tuned !!

Now that is an interesting idea. I expect that nearly the entire rear fender section to near the taillights and from the peak down will have to be revised and pulled in. But it's just fiberglass with no other structure under it except the trunk floor outer aprons - a set of replacement fenders similar to rear quarters on a 63 or 67 Corvette would be a nice market item. The front fender flares shouldn't take too much modification - mostly the bottom of the flare where it rolls under the body.
Since he's going for the street look - take a look at the rocker bottom also. The originals had a pretty good curve there while the ERA is still a little flat because it's hidden by side exhaust on most cars anyway. I actually spaced my rockers down from the outside tube with aluminum bar stock on mine to get a little more curve. I still don't have as much as the originals but enough that it's not especially noticeable.
Please post lots of updates as the project progresses.
