[DeTomaso] Fender Flare Foto Study at Reno

[Mike Thomas]

I've seen your car before and have always liked the way it was done.  I've
often thought that if I flared my car, I didn't want to go a s big as the
Grp 4, but I would have to leave out the running board as it makes the car
look too tall.  Nice ride!
 
Thanks
Mike

Mike,that's my green flared car under Grp4/Gt5.The flares are from Hall
Pantera and are  fiberglass GT5.I just did not put on the running boards. 


The rivets are what Volvo uses for fender mounting instead of bolts on there
newer cars.

The front spoiler is the Revson with the remnants of the GT5 spoiler side
pieces grafted together.The Revson has a larger radiator grill opening and
does not protrude as far forward as the GT5 so i am less likely to damage
it.A lesson well learned after repeatedly destroying the GT5 one. 

The mirrors are from a Yamaha R1 motorcycle.No bumpers on the car at the
moment.

I forgot the name of the owner of the light blue group 4 flared car,but he
is from Morgan Hill California and the license plate is FLYER1.This car is
the one with the rare real Group 4 wheels! 

Hope this helps,Richard Boschert #5919
