Martini Car just out the spray booth.

My 72 S/RSR is just out the spray booth with it's new shaped rear arches, thought you might like to see the results.

If you haven't been following the DDK thread, it's been all about the shape of the 0002 prototype's arches and here
are the rears, a totally unique look to reflect the halfway stage in 1972 from the standard early 911 to the more flared
in wide arch of the 1973 RSR. I hope you like them.

thanks guys really do appreciate the comments, as you know in long term projects like this you sometimes question if you're going the right way,
so it's great to hear if others like it.

Harvey thanks again, it was never really the intention to copy 0002's arches exactly, the main reason being they were a little crude and not
particularly nice looking, so we've taken the basic look but just shaped it a little more carefully, as if it had evolved a little more with work over the
years. The difficulty was getting the right amount of flow from the arch into the rear quarter, not too sharp like a riveted on extension, but enough
to give the idea of the much more smoothed in look of what was to come the following year.

They should pair up better with the fronts as well, which are again unique with none of the slight straight edge to the lip that the 73 RSR has.
