Craig, yes you may call me that, but I also respond to "Jim" and some other things I'd rather not say. If you mean rounded all the way by fully radiused, yes they are. I bought the car like this. The flares appear to be done in Bondo as they are cracking at the top and will have to be re-done. I do like the shape though. I was thinking about going to a hot-rod shop and seeing if they could re-do them in lead. I'm at work right now but my weekend starts at 8am. I'll see about getting some close up shots of the flares and post them.
Frank, the wheels were a BBS copy of sorts made by a company called Epsilon. I don't think that they are still in business. I'm not familiar with the term PCD, but if it has to do with the wheel lugs, they are standard TR7/TR8 spacing. The tires are 205/50 15 on the front and 225/50 15 on the back.
I bought this car from a friend who had let it sit for 8 or 9 years. The top had shrunk enough that it wouldn't latch any more, so it sat outside, unprotected, with the top up but not latched. I've done a lot of cleaning, and rebuilt the front and rear brakes, and replaced the gummed up Holley with an Edelbrock. Replaced all of the hoses and belts and had to apply for a lost title. The car is running now, but I need to hunt down my buddy to get the title. Then the tires, which only had about 1,0000 miles on them when he parked it, need to be replaced as they are hard and dried out. Then a trip to the muffler shop to replace the rusted out tips on the Monza exhaust. Then I plan to drive it for the summer without a top. It is probably too late to make the NW All Triumph Drive In August 7-9 but I'll definitely be at the Portland All British field meet Labor Day Weekend. Then spend the winter working on the body, paint and interior.
Pictures of they way it looked when I bought it.
