Nothing to be ashamed of there, Craig! I prefer Healeys where the natural lines of the car were kept, much like the slab-sided Cobras. Lots of the engine-swapped Healeys in the '60s and '70s were flared out to give them the 427 Cobra look and out of necessity as well as you can't fit much tire under the original fenders.
