Looking forward to the next snowy day video.

I agree that the OEM back section is not the best for aero. From what I see the axle beam is higher then the forward car underside. There is also no good attachment points from the axle up the the relatively smooth section of the car (2' forward of axle to just aft of front axle).
I could have made the pan duck under the axle but then I would need to make it have a lot of slack so the car could take bumps. For my car the whole axle can move up and down.
I will see what pics I can get of the underside and maybe we can analysis them together.
I want to take another video, and it is snowing right now, I just need a second driver.
Want to come over?
