I've thought that a junkyard hatch would be a good thing. Speaking just of the Kammback: I could integrate it better into one that I didn't mind welding/cutting up/bondo-ing/etc. It could be lighter, plus I could lose the rear glass and enclose with plexi.

I'll probably skin the boat tail with cardboard for testing before doing anything more complicated. (removable panels, coroplast)
EDIT: but I won't be able to work on this any more until the weekend at the earliest.

Cd asked me via PM if I knew the car's current Cd. I don't. I went out one day this summer to do the Instructables "measure your Cd" coastdown test, but the numbers I got didn't fit very well in the curve used to figure out Crr and Cd, so I didn't bother finishing it.
