Keep up the good work.

It looks like you've rediscovered the 1964 Shelby Daytona coupe rear end. It was an outstanding design, allowing the Shelby Daytona to achieve higher top end speed on the Mulsanne straight at Le Man with a carbureted 289 than the 427 powered Fort GT or the competing Ferrari.

I say if you find a good horse, ride it.
