Those are too uniformly radiused, for my taste. I also dislike the flat lip (side view).
This is more in line with what I'm thinking, as far as cross sectional shape is concerned. The common thread, among them, is that they all start at an angle nearly perpendicular to the ground, and then the radius increases, as the curve rises. Sort of like a "frech curve," or compound curve.

Uh oh! Your starting to give me ideas about mine now, I do like the wide body look!Yes,
I have pictures of all of those cars, I believe the white and yellow ones are both V8s. The yellow one is (was?) Bill Yongbloed's car. The wheels are of his manufacture. He was in the business of making custom racing wheels (company just changed hands). He also, at some point, published drawings on how to reinforce the M chassis, and sold M body panels. The silver, Dutch one was purchased by someone on here, not long ago.
Here's another one (Huysman). One of the better ones, in my view, and a photochop version of it, where i was looking at softening the shape.
Then there's Robert's red one,
and a couple of the red V8 running around Asia (ugly hinges, like the Titan).
Also, look at this V8 from down under.
I unfortunately lost the owner's contact info. Would love to know how highly he's developed the car, by now.
Here, on the other hand, is a shape only a Porschephile could love.

What's in the name " SLOW M"??????
I like the line of the fender especially in the 3th picture.
However I am to shy to drive a car with this looks.

It's the slowest project of my life. 17 years. Maybe the slowest M build ever? It's also more than a little tongue in cheek, as I hoped for it to be the fastest M, when done. We shall see.

hi bernard, out of interest, on that red car i happened to have done the arches and the initial work on the bonnet including that blooming scoop against my judgment. i had to widen a corvette stingray to accept 11J wheels, and i was able to use those because the hubs they were using were the same pcd and they were going to use the same wheels. we call that the hong kong 'S' and i still happen to have the original windscreen chrome surround that i took off to fit, initially fly screens. it used to race in macau in the gentlmens driver series but with the hand back it's now in malaysia. somewhere i've got pictures of the vet and a griff 200 i widened in a similar style that you are perceiving. it got wrote off, again in macau, hit a fresh piece of tarmac on a corner at speed and a piece of armco is unforgiving!!!. best regards keith
