I'm not sure I can quite visualize exactly what you're saying about the back window, though.. do you have a link or something to show?
For the rear tire fairings, I hadn't honestly thought about it, but I did think about full side skirts after I've established my ride height and weight requirements (after she comes off the road for project time.)
I also figured that while I'm under there for the transmission swap, I might as well figure out my mounting points for a belly pan, or at least an engine compartment bottom cover.
I don't have a representative pic, but after my dad buys me a new bumper cover (he hit mine... backed into it) I'm going to make a permanent upper grille block to fit in the space of the removable grille, and probably start with removable plugs for the lower grille areas.
I'm still not wholly sure what's actually going to happen with the rear of the van yet... I'm keeping that thought 007 for now.  |
With respect to the rear glass,it looks as though Chrysler has blacked-out the outer edges of the glass with paint.My thought was that since this area was already "blind",streamlining panels could be attached behind this area,extending straight back to create the 90-degree rotated Kamm "steps" on each side.The panels could be attached to a bicycle rack so to speak.---------- You wouldn't lose any visibility to speak of,as this area is already covered.
