Wheels and underflow

Looking good!
To get around the trade-off between wheel exposure and the official, hoped-for stagnation point, we need separate fairings ahead of the wheels. I hope that is not getting too far from the original Tank with its simple construction.

You might want to try large-diameter plastic sewer pipe to form top-side edge. It can be hacked and heat-formed over the wheels, too.

The Daihatsu UFE III has a nice front end compromise.
