Clay - Don can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the photo of 3047 in its blue & white color scheme was when it still had the 8.5" FIA wheels at the rear. The narrower wheel/ tire combination might make the flares look peculiar, but to me they look pretty correct for an S/C. Of course, that covers a lot of ground, as the width of the extra lip on the rear S/C flares differes from car to car. One might conclude several different people at Shelby American were assigned to modify the rear fenders to this configuration.
