Chaz, Nice drawing, looks pretty good to me. Thanks for the tips on Draw.

Weatherspotter, Good job on the wheel skirts on your other thread. You have steel rims and seem pretty handy, you could add screw-on racing aluminum wheel covers to the front wheels. 'Not sure you have enough clearance with the skirts on in back. I have a hatchback too and just added a coroplast belly pan. It seems to be helping.
