I know it wouldn't be cost-effective for ERA to gear up separately for a narrow-hip 427 street roadster body - just not enough demand apparently. But - I wonder if they have ever considered moldiing up a set of outer rear fender sections matching the narrow hip car that would extend to the mold match lines surrounding the rear fender flares and wheel lips. If they included a recessed bonding flange it would be pretty easy for anyone with a little fibergalss skill to zip the SC fender section off at the mold lines, bond the new narrow-hip fender sections on and then dish grind and fiberglass everything together. They could sell them as an owner-installed option or even do it themselves.

Maybe something for Mr. Bruce to consider doing for ERA, FFR and Shelby fiberglass bodies.
