Mother nature at her AERO best?

[IsaacCarlson]

We got a nor-easter sun/mon, so I made sure to park the car pointed into the wind. The snow piled up very nicely. It also started to melt before I could snap a good photo today. OH WELL. It is 90+% intact. I like the hood riser and the perfect slope on the back. I am looking for ideas on how to go about making one out of fiberglass. Should I make an inner mold out of foam and then use it to form the FG? Does anyone have an easier way to do it? The reason I want to use fiberglass is because it is self-supporting. I do want to see out under the back.

I forgot to insert the images...

You should've put fiberglass right on the snow!

Get shots from all angles unless it's too late!

I thought about the fiberglass on the snow, but I don't have any fiberglass right now.... It would have been perfect. I might just have to make a foam/cardboard base and cover that.

I think those pictures perfectly illustrate why hatchbacks and wagons have more potential when it comes to aerodynamics.

the hood area seems to be of interest as well... it makes me think a cowl type hood scoop shape similar to the snow buildup would be of aerodynamic benefit.

At the back end, it looks like a stretch-Prius.

There was a cowl on the truck after the snow as well and I drove to Eau Claire in the snow. There was less wind noise around the cabin and the mileage was the same as dry road even though I was driving through a few inches of heavy snow and slush.

God created a Kammback. For Him it's snow problem
