this is a link to some glass fenders. but look at the coupe at the bottom of the page. unbelievable! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6763&item=7909615827&rd=1
Yeah i saw that too while surfing for "fiberglass fenders" for my "T". I had to do a doubbletake too, one of the VERY few super SERIOUS Mustang II's to dawn a dragstrip!! How good is the fit and finish with fiberglass fenders on a II? Been having thoughts of lightening up the front end to make it a little easier to pull the left front wheel on a launch.
The fenders on these cars were made to be lightweight, more importantly cheap to produce. Reducing weight is very important in racing, but would it really be worth the effort to have fiberglass fenders such as these on your street car? It seems like a heck of a lot of work to go through just to save a little bit of weight. There are better places to start. Installing some headers in place of the stock exhaust manifolds would have the same effect two or three times over as far as weight (reduction) is concerned.
i used fiberglass fenders from a company out of business in canada.. they were very well made with fiber and plastic, and looked identical to a factory fender. i did have to work the holes that were pre drilled but other than that it was fairly easy, and now i have a fiberglass front end.. i was worried about the flex they had until i bolted them to the car, they stiffened right up.. i didnt use any of the inner/ well plastic which also helped in weight saving..
No that was not the coupe featured in the early ninetys. It was called "Six shooter" and was a red copue featured with a blown 2.8, then it was featured again when he put a tube frame and tube job. It came to press just as my car was originaly tubbed.
that was really the 2.8 v6 in that car?! I cant believe that, anybody know what sort of times it got? or where he go the parts to beef up that little 6?
