Glen, I thought I checked, and wheel fairings were legal in comp coupe? I'll look it up again.
Rex, you bring up a good point about the fairings turning into wind vanes. What would you suggest? I like the idea of an axle cover, and I'm going to explore that idea.
We could make this more aerodynamic, by smoothing everything from the grill to the cowl, but we would lose some of the '38 'look'. It will cost us some aero, but I want the ability to put the fenders on from time to time, and keep that 'look'.
We'll smooth things out, while doing a balancing act to maintain the overall look it has now.
Pinkees Rod Shop, in Windsor, CO., has agreed to sponsor us!
Pinkees owner, Eric, will be making side panels, to cover the open area normally covered by the fenders. We planned it out this morning, so that the panels would transition from the 'fade away' area, to flush in the front. This way, I can still run fenders when I want.
Throw those ideas out here about the front tires- I'm all ears. Ideally, I would go with a straight axle, but then I would need 13" tall tires, to maintain the same stance height.
