You and Nick are flying on the car. It looks really good. Out of curiousity, how do you transition from the glass body to the aluminum flares? Does the aluminum get encased in the glass except for the lip?

Great question!
I plan to cut the vertical portion of the fender off leaving the round off the body. I will fab a fender and attach via epoxy and countersunk rivots. Finishing with glass and filler. In theory it should work.......

Jeff

Thanks, I hope it will rival your car someday....
