Haha. No problem.

It's a nice looking mod & well documented. And it's a step above the usual ... e.g. most of the stuff I make!

I was hoping this was going to be a thread about a 1976 Dodge Dart, particularly about a Dart Lite (Dodge's version of the Plymouth "Feather" Duster), a longer-legged, stripped-down, 200-lb lighter version of the mainstream model. 36mpg highway back in the day, not bad.

Ah well. The new Aero Dart gets up to 41, so I guess an improvement of 6mpg over 28 years is good, right?

I incorporated the upper and lower grill blocks in one sweeping, aerodynamically aesthetic design on the Black widow. Along with the rear skirts, the grill block drew the admiration of all who gazed upon it!

Of course, my kid proceeded to rip all that crap off the car immediately after I gave it to him.

Now, amazingly, no matter how hard to tries to EOC & P&G, he can't break 50 mpg!

*Nice grill blocks on the Subaru, BTW. It would make my son jealous, he sold his WRX years ago, but he still has three Subarus
