We call them wedges. I came across this photo that I took at Watkins Glenn Vintage Weekend. We were in the top of the grandstands with the car parked behind. Looks rather sleek even from above don't you think?

Does that seat have a slight camber to the center?
Maybe from leaning on the console?
Could be an illusion too.

I see it too. Must be one of those rotating captain seats you find on big motorhomes.[:)]

I used images like above to shape the pedal car that I made.

@V8Wedgehead: You have some ridiculous projects! Wish I could have had a TR pedal car[V]

Also, are the wheel arches going to be molded directly to the are or are they affixed in such a way to be removed as needed? Looks awesome either way.
