Still working on the fitting and a bit of reducing the curvature of the top to lower it at the roll bar area but I think it will work.

Will look cool when done.

What's it off, MG???

72 mgb, just resloped to give alot more curvature to the back. Might look funny on a regular seven but It seams to fit my design ok.

Hi Dale
that looks real good and it must have saved you a real lot of work I like it but the trick will be to make the raer mud gaurds look right any way keep up the good work
Best wishes

I figure I will have to mold my own rears and do them similar to an mga. If the car was 48 inches wide instead of 46 I could radius the edges and do the rear sides and wings like the NG TC. Unfortunately the rear trunk is 45 inches wide so I have to build the fenders/wings to match the curve of the back. If I could only find a fiberglass trunk lid I could save a few lbs.

It would be interesting to see the effect that it has on reducing the drag from flow detachment at the rear end. There was a guy that posted the other day who was doing an analysis, perhaps he may consider including your version.

Cheers,
