Lowell,
E-mail sent again, hopefully with better results.
496fe,
There were several different rear fender shapes. The two best known were the early comp cars and the later street cars. ERA Has both and Hurricane has the street fenders. There were also a small number of cars intended for use with street tires that have an even narrower rear fender that was proportioned for normal street tires. That body shape was resurrected for the AC289 cars. That's the one I want to replicate, and unfortunately (but not unsurprisingly) No one I know makes it.
I will have to cut the sides of the rear fenders off an ERA 427 and build up new ones from foam, then pull a set of molds and lay up new fender pieces to glass back onto the body.
That's why I need all the pictures I can get, to help make sure I get the shape right. The thought of cutting up a perfectly good ERA body makes me a little nervous!
