Begin front quarter mod '66 Corvair
Kinda a before pic

Started modding the front quarter so air will flow around the front tires instead of slamming into them.
Extra material to inner fender
Next will be the conveyor belt air dam.

...even old and "rusty," that model Corvair is good looking!

...glad to see you're doing it in metal and not in Bondo!

Son's new car and air dam
My son came by for parts today for his Corvair. We did a little photo shoot. He did the body and paint himself.

And the proposed air dam
