I finally made it to the museum in Boulder and spent a lot of time with CSX2345. Steve Volk was there and gave me a personal and up close look. Looking at the 2 press release photos of the FIA tribute car it appears they went to great lengths to capture the details from when it was last raced, rather than how it was originally configured. That's pretty cool. Note the modified roll bar that a previous racer had removed the front bracing from, the mis-matched painted/natural wheels, the steering wheel, etc.

One thing that jumps out at me with all the Hi-Tech built FIA cars as of late is the front of the rear fender flares. In the photos I have seen they make a very sharp contour line and my ERA is a bit more "relaxed" in this area, which I prefer. Still, these cars were all different back in the 60s and banged up here and there. I like the concept of building a car based on a specified period in time. The only thing it needs is race patina (:
