If NHRA held you to this wording, wouldn't that mean that steel tubs installed in a Corvette would need to be 1/4" thick at least, to match the stock fiberglass wheelwell thickness? Yikes!

Wade, I have been on your site and following your Corvette build, and you exhibit great workmanship. Those wheel tubs are very nicely done. When we put tubs in a '57 Corvette many years ago we used sectioned fuel drums as molds......and the end result looked it too! Not one of our prouder achievements......
