At the very least A2 Tunnel would be interesting. It's ONLY like $475 an hour. :D HAHA

The rear quarters and duck tail portion of this car has always been fascinating to me. I would love to see the additional aero coefficients comparing a standard RS/RSR factory design that has the basic duck tail, versus this car with it's additional "spoilers" and wider stance.

More rear fenders

More Rear Fender Work

Primer. First image shows some marks where Keith wanted the edges sanded a little smoother, his attention to detail is second to none:

Progress on the body work continues. In the meantime the next detail to be worked on is the steering wheel. The R7 used the same wheel used in the 910/917 as seen here:

R7 Steering Wheel

We were unable to find a readily available wheel for the project so we decided to make our own. After much research Keith found that a Momo Jacky Ickx wheel, although slightly smaller diameter, had similar proportions and look to the 910/917 wheel:

So research began and Keith was able to develop the proper dimensions and hole sizes that would need to be drilled for the wheel to be correct. After modeling in the virtual world he made an overlay/template to make sure that the machine work was correct.

Holes drilled and the hub adapter fits nicely. The wheel will be painted satin black and sent out for recovering. Currently researching the correct stitching and leather.

I've only just run into this thread. Don't have time to read through it now, just had a quick look at this last page when the steering wheel thing caught my eye.
I guess one of these is what you may have needed.
