If you check in Excellence magazine, there are several vendors that sell them. Some of them also advertise in Panorama.

If you don't have access to either, send me a note and I'll get you a vendor list from Excellence/Pano.

Check out www.gt-racing.com. They have component parts, like RSR fiberglass flares for $195/pair or $295/pair in carbon fiber. Haven't personally tried any of the parts, so can't vouch for quality. I'd also call Mike Shaw and see what he has. I do have a tail from him which was fine.

Talk to Peter at Rennspeed Motorsports. He sold me used steel SC flares for under $200 for my 73. The advantage to steel is that you don't run into the cracking problems of bonding steel to fiberglass. He also has fiberglass bumpers, however.

You can email him at: Rennspeed@4dcomm.com

Tell him Jack Olsen sent you.

I can vouch for the quality of GT racing parts, one week I installed fiberglass parts on 3 different cars, one set of parts from GT racing, one from vendor "A", one from vendor "B". The GT parts were the only ones that fit at all. GT is a little slow, and a little more expensive, but I'd rather wait 2 extra days than spend an extra day trying to get the parts bent into shape.
