Don't you have rear fenders? All the pics I've seen of your car are without them. Like your car though.

Yes...and no ! I didn't want to re-use the flared rears that were on my last car because I don't like the look. I did a deal for some fibre glass over-sized fenders to fit around the 8 inch slicks, but due to a mix up, they didn't arrive. By this time, the car had been base coated and last season was part way through and I wanted to get out and race.
So I consulted the tech book and found nothing in there that would prevent me from racing without them so went ahead with the rest of the spraying and there you have it...fenderless.
The next time it's out (when the bank allows

) it should have some fenders because it doesn't look right without them and I'm sure there has to be some better aero-efficiency with them on too!
It feels a bit like I'm running around without my pants on!

Thanks for the compliment

Everyone that builds, knows how much work goes into preparing something like this and I get a lot of satisfaction from it as I'm sure others do. Having some acknowlegment like yours is fantastic, and puts the icing on the cake. Reading this at 6am Monday is perfect timing too
