It's probably going to be another week before I finish it. First I need to sharpen my drillbits to attach the shower liner. And it's been too windy to paint it. Then since I am still cut back on hours, I wanted to find a deal on tallights. I found some on ebay, for about $1 a piece including shipping and they are supposed to be here next Thursday.
The clear part does not hinge. The whole thing hinges at the back of the framework that comes off the bottom of the bumper. I have a pic at home I can post. It still bolts to the rods on the trunk so it is not going to flip up or anything when driving.
Not sure about the coastdown tests. Michigan has these whipping winds that never quit and change direction a lot. Plus the roads are beat up. So it is nearly impossible to get a consistent coastdown test anywhere. I'd be better off just seeing how my mpg is with the guino on a given trip where I know about what I should be getting based on weather, temperature, and wind.
