quote:I discussed this car with Mike Drew and he believes these flares are "stock". The curves differ from the aftermarket versions.
Also the factory took stock-bodied cars and then cut them and installed the flares. If one had the opportunity to look under the fenders (and under the coating) you should see a seam.
Still not so sure every Factory GP4 I've seen photo's of had flares similar to the reproduction ones. I'm more inclined to think they are a 'one off' aftermarket. Man I wish there werre more records available, sure save a lot of discussion and opinion here.
DT never 'blended' flares liek the car in this example, always riveted on, both GP4 (exposed rivets) and GT5 (hidden rivets) are this way starting with a stock body coach and cutting the fender wheel arch out.
