Fun with Volvo's (anybody photoshop)

I have an old parts car that could be easily made a runner.
However it will give up some of its better parts for a nicer car I will be restoring. So after reading up on aero I thought about modding the Amazon.

I am game to lower the rear of the roof panel and narrow it. Side skirts would be o.k. but maybe something of a compramise. Like a 55 Bel air rear wheel wheel. Cutting and welding is just a good way to keep me off the streets
I'd want to keep the rear tailights as well as the feel of the front end.
(headlights) I could see extending the fron end to a bit of a point.
Closing up the grill some would be fine.
The rear doors do not need to be funcional or present.

The green one is the potential mod.
Anyone here wanna design it ?
