Roof flaps are not a horrible idea for may cars. It would be easy to make them as well.  ~JH |

You get a cheap set from Almendinger's #43 when they roll it back on the wheels.

I modified a NASCAR roof flap for Hooley" car. Here is a link to our site and near the end of this page is some information on how I did the flap. http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/hooley/hooley-construction-2006-1.htmlIf I can help you, just ask. John |

I will only add that when Hooley's Studie did a little spin on the salt, the flap had deployed. I do not remember the year, I am sure John does.
The cable on the flap was out, which indicated the flap had opened

They are not as simple as it looks. $50 gets you a good used set. PM me for pics.
