Mark,

How much torsional stiffness do you think gets lost with the fiber front clip vs. the steel? That outer/inner steel fender combo seems actually quite rigid when bolted together. I've been thinking about retrofitting my '69 with the Anvil parts, partly for the weight and partly for the extra tire afforded by the new wider front fender they offer. But I'm thinking I'd want to add some downbar/crossbrace type structure?

Another awesome car! Thanks for sharing!

Only problem I see with the tank being under there.. how do you put oil into it? Remove the fender?

Surely an engineer like Mark can incorporate a remote fill and drain without too much trouble. Removing the fender does not sound very track savvy or user friendly.

Default Anvil Fenders

I poached these pictures off another sight of Anvils new fenders I've ordered.













Anyone use these parts yet and have any idea on the mass savings over steel?

I hope my parts fit like these.

Mark

Crap... I forgot that...

I'm going to make a filler neck that comes through the cowl along with a dip stick.

I hope to make those parts next week and post pictures.

Looking good the car is progressing very good it looks like. Looking forward to seeing the car all come together with the carbon front end. Should be pretty cool.

P.S did you still want me to get that sweet purple color paint we talked about coming?
