Jeff and Dave, your cars are beautiful, as are most of the CCX examples out there. Your butt is definitely tucked down over the wheels as it should be BUTT that is not the typical look you see with most of the Contemporary cars. I have read that the front and rear flares on the cars were modified by Contemporary to give a more "radiused" look. We had a fun thread a few years back about the perky butt issue and one CCX owner said that with a change of springs in the rear a big improvement in the stance could be realized. Here is a link to the thread:

Butts, rearends, etc

This is a more typical looking pic of a CCX car ASSuming the pose



Note also the distance between the bottom of the door opening and the top of the sidepipes and compare for instance against the Dick Smith 198 car that you referenced.
