I posted this in the Paddock too, but I'd like to throw it out to everyone.
I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a fiberglass repro of the spoiler on the Wayne Baker IMSA GTU car. The original is made from sheet aluminum, so I would clean up the metal joints and get rid of the rivets, but the overall shape would be the same. The Gurney on the rear would be a separate piece. I'm doing one for myself and one for a customer, but if there is any interest I could make more permanent tooling and pop 'em out. A slightly smaller version without the Gurney or the side fences might be easier to live with on the street... Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated! Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Apr 24 2009, 11:11 AM)  more like this one ? Yeah, sorta like that. The one on the Baker car is actually wedge-shaped rather than a flat sheet. Here are a couple of pics that give a better idea of the shape... Attached image(s)

100 inches total.....50 sq in per side is the way I read the rule. Re-reading it ....verboten in XP but legal in EM.
The shape of the spoiler doesn't matter (as long as it doesn't act like a wing), the height above the body work is the determining factor. Wings are legal in XP.....go figure....and you can have end plates..200 sq in...total area. Hay, I didn't write this shit. It's still a good lookin' spoiler.
