Any interest in flared CF front fenders?

[oooooh snap]

Ran into a guy on IG who made some for a new edge. He said he’d need 5 or 6 pre-orders to start building a set.

He’s local to me so I’d use my car as a guinea pig.

IMO a slight flare would look great, plus give us flexibility for larger tires and S197 brakes w/o having the front wheels poke out.

Thoughts?

I’d be interested if he replicated the SN95 Saleen SR widebody panels.

I follow him. Pretty cool what he has done with his new edge.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of something like the older SL500’s, which would make the flare independent of the front bumper. Something like this would match up nicely with the export fender flares for the rear and some fat rubber. At least IMO

I like that style of flare, just not for SN95s as those aren't the style used on the notable racers at the time. The pushed-out radiused flare as shown on the SL looks great on older Mustangs as that's what was period for the Ford-backed racecars (my '70 and the original Trans-Am racecars have those flares like that). But I've had a project idea in the back of my mind for a long time...ground up build from a clean SN95 shell, duplicating the Saleen widebody panels, Roush-Yates power, something like a Jerico 4-speed. I'd be happy to buy the panels from someone else if a run is being made, so I'd consider a set but only if they closely resemble the Saleen panels as run at LeMans in the late '90s. If I had time I would've made molds by now, but unfortunately I haven't. So please make these, lol. They are much more complicated designs given the wider fascias, rear quarters, rockers, etc. But my opinion one of the best looking Mustang designs ever built/raced, and I'd have a hard time saying no if accurate panels were available...

I may know someone that has the ability to make the racecar body kit again. Is there a lot of interest in this kit? If there's enough interest I maybe able to talk him into making them. I think its the bumper hood fenders door skins quarter panel and I believe the rear bumper. I no the kit wont be cheap. I'm not sure if he does the rear spoiler. I believe it this kit

 

[amorrow]

I am very interested given price is within reason. Does he have any original molds as starting point, or has already made some for accurate replacements? If you find other interest to bring cost down, please keep me in mind, as it’s something I’d like to do eventually...whether I take it on making molds myself (starting from nothing which will be a huge task), or buy from someone else more experienced with panel making.

 

[gsxrracing]

He has molds already. Ill check with him to see time frame and see how many he wants to make

 

[amorrow]

Great, thank you! Had no idea any of the original molds still existed or if anyone was capable of reproducing the panels.

I'd be interested in some Saleen C pillars designed to for our SN95s

Some of those old-school fenders would be great too. Remember the Home Improvement Saleen?

 

[Murder Snake]

would he do rear flares too?

 

[gsxrracing]

Sorry just got back from the Baja 500. I will get in touch with him this week.

 

[gsxrracing]

I talked with him today he's going to pull out what he has. take a few picture and send them to me. He will let me know cost of the kits as well. Its a lot of big parts to make the race car kit so shipping wont be cheap. He thinks he has a few saleen hood molds as well as spoiler molds

Bump for this. If the “kit” is the Saleen SR widebody I’d be interested as well.

Not enough interest to make this happen and the thread kind of spiraled into different style flares.

SR flares would sell great. Make some sail panels/C pillars while you're at it too.
