In spite of their title there are a bunch of really nice cars and professional photos on the site. http://www.stanceworks.com/2013/06/24-hours-in-the-green-hell/

OMG, I would love to see a build thread on that! It must have a really really tall 1st gear. In that vid it's in first for a long time, then 2nd, 3rd, 4th and into 5th by the first corner.

While maybe not true box flares...

Not exactly box flares either but they are mine

You can't link to the pic on a forum since we'd need to have a login to see it. Upload it to Flickr, Google Photos or Photobucket and grab the link of the .jpg/.gif/.png file and put it here.

WAT

Seriously, what kind of Lotus V8 is that? Hillclimb cars are the good kind of bonkers

Holy what the berkeley!

Also: That's a GM LT5.

Mildly Modified MGB GT. Rover engine with DOHC conversion.

Just bronze.

I'm so bummed that they had to discontinue the 17s.

My question regarding the construction of those MG fenders is, how would one keep the dimensions/contours the same on opposite sides of the car? In all my years of bench-building, I've never mentally gotten past that snag.

I haven't done it myself, but I've heard it's made easier with 2 dimensional templates. (i.e., "Here's the profile of this flare 12" forward of the bottom of the windshield")
