Beautiful car -- do you have more photos that you can share? I did go to your photos webshots, but I did not see any of this car. I would love to see more photos of the interior and of course the engine compartment. I do have the article that he had concerning the restoration of this car when Glen had it; just wondering if you had any more photos? This car and yours were inspiration for me to cut up my car and have it be a Group 4 car. It still amazes me how flare placement can make or break the group 4 look, and Glen's old car sure had the look that I liked.

Yes, very respectable car. Here are a bunch of photos when it was for sale in the link below. Plus I have some when I went to look at it personally when I was thinking of buying it a while back. Any recent photos of your car in the process? This black car has 18 rear, where mine are 17 all around. I would have to check if they were 18 in front too. Makes it sit a little different. I kind of like 18 rear and 17 front for a little rake. Its funny you mention my Group 4, as Glen said my DOES 200 car inspired his Group 4 build. He ended up building a real nice car and put a 427 with aluminum heads in it.

DOES 200,
Nothing has really happened to look very different since a couple of years ago. All of the sheetmetal is done, except for the front of the car -- I want to see something different on the front of the car to keep air from underneath the car, but I do not like the traditional air dam that goes there. I like the look of the GT5-S front end; so we will see what Wilkinson can do with this. As far as the motor goes, he has been plumbing the engine compartment up to the Ford GT motor; many special connections. I am going to have a Whipple Gen II installed on the motor with 17 psi of boost and run on an engine dyno. That should be coming up soon.
I do not know who made the metal flares for my car -- I do not know who Wilkinson uses. As far as the rims on my car, they were custom made up 10 spokes with 18's in the front and 19's in the rear. Should have a great contact patch -- at least that was the goal. It was great to have the rims and rubber on the car and then match the flares to them with the huge offset that was used. I do not know what they are, but it is pretty substantial in the rear, at least.

Ha, what the hey? I never noticed that area, maybe special compartment for trips to Tiajuana

Demopura, your 19 rear 18 front should look real bad-ass. Flares look nice and tight to the wheel tire set up as well. Wilkenson does great work, love to see it done. If it is in his shop maybe I will stop buy and see what else he has cookin as well.
DOES 200,
Now don't tell anybody, but I'm planning on putting the same type of "compartments" on my ride too -- big enough for riding, hidden, "paying" customers -- ya know what i'm sayin'? Hey, I've got to pay for this thing somehow; so I went low profile so as not to get noticed .....
I was concerned with the size of the rims and rubber -- but damn, it does look good on the car. All in the metal work. The car has been in Paramount for years, so don't worry, it'll more than likely still be there whenever you want to run in there ....

Here is a link below that shows a small map in the first few photos. This guy does C&C photos almost every Saturday and posts them. I was going to go, and still might. Depends how warn out I am from work...my job is kicking my butt, and layoffs and furloughs planned as well.
