Looks good, David. It looks like it shaping up quite nicely.

You have a real flare for this kind of work.

Your standard bugeye looks great, but it is a tiny, tiny car, so this is a good idea. The alteration should allow us to use something other than bicycle tires under the fenders! :lol:

Nice job venturing in to modeling. It looks like it takes some pretty nifty sculpting skills to pull it off.

I will not do a pun......... :shhh:

It reminds me of the next generation TR3 that Triumph never put into production, they went with the TR4 instead. The car was a TR3 but the fenders were just a little wider, gave it a "beefier" look, your car has the same look. Keep up the good work.

You are "carving" yourself a niche in this hobby.......SORRY! :shifty:

Do these flares make my butt look big?

Great work so far!

...yes, but are you sanding, priming, and filling?

Looks awesome. The others I've seen with flares make the car look pretty massive. Your flares have a more subtle look on the car.

Don't understand that one :?

Maybe that's why you didn't get PM I sent yesterday.I found the info I needed on the box you sent the bodies in.

Nifty flares on the Sprite. A very good Idea. Looks great. :)

Very nice. Do get better and start pumping out those bodies. I can see some interest for the upcoming Sprite Proxy Race (SPR) in 2014. The final details and schedule are still being worked out.

P.S. Here's my Airfix Bugeye with added flares, Ranch Design rims and Paul Gage tires.

Has sort of a baby Cobra look.

Ahh look, it's crying!

Seriously Dave, I like it....the fatter fenders give it that "whaddya mean, 'only 1275CCs?'" look. With Brooklands screens and "fat but period" wheels and tires this thing will be sweet!
