Now that were talking about whale tails, how about these?

Do you recognise the guy in the yellow shirt?

I can see "Bruce Butler" written all over that fibre-glass work, Steve. Sadly Bruce is no longer with us.

Hi Greg

Bruce was craftsman for sure.

Bruce Butler did the removeable front and rear sections for my Sports Sedan....around 1979.

Funny a fiend of mine ended up with the plug for the front clip mold under his house, I loved that car

Dave Mawer made the wheels, Chris. 13" dia., and [from memory] the fronts were 7", rears either 9" or 9.5". Centres were cast alloy, rims spun steel. VW 4 stud bolt pattern.
