Back when I had my Anglia drag racer, I had thoughts of doing something like this. Extending the length of the front of the fenders and maybe adding a bit of a lip.
I'm glad I didn't..!

I THINK I have seen photos of Odyessy before but never posted them because of the scoop

Yea, during the last bit of reconstruction (I bought a crashed basket case), I had a hard time putting a short fat scoop on a tall skinny car. Sooo...
Hell, most any fiberglass scoop makes most cars posted here marginal for the period.

Seems those Aussie Anglia owners liked short tires. A few posted here and other threads.

Mike, in that era slicks were in short supply on the bottom half of the planet and a lot of drag racers relied on road race tires which were a lot more plentiful (and available used).
