[DML] Re: Can anyone ID these cars from PF?

Dave is correct... the Yellow D has a universal style wing that was 
actually mounted on the car backwards when we got it.  Previous owner 
did a lot of things a$$ backwards.  Anyway, the mounts that hold the 
wing were custom made and are about 2.5 times taller than the 
originals.  This got it up out of the rear view mirror but not so 
high that it would look like a Super Bee.  The most difficult thing 
about a wing mounted on the louvre is the struts will not support it 
well... that is until I got some of the struts Don Steger sells.  
Dont know what magic Don has put in them but they definately are 
stronger than others I tried.

It took some time to get used to the different look but I have grown 
to like it.  Some day I hope to try one of the wings off of this 
site... http://www.lotusespritworld.co.uk/EHistory/WingsWheels.html

Check it out, a Lotus style wing couldnt help but look good on a D.
Maybe a future article!!
